Blaise returns to work

On Friday, we sit eight days away from the start of the new Serie A campaign and just a couple days away from the annual Villar Perosa spectacular. Finally, Massimiliano Allegri's squad is complete as today our World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi returned to Turin both for his medical visit and a first training session at the new JTC.

It was a solitary session for Matuidi with the rest of the squad training in the morning, though Saturday morning will see the entire Bianconeri team working together in preparations both for Sunday's friendly against the Primavera and the big season launch next Saturday at Chievo.
