From the source

Jeff Ekhator has finally rejoined his Juventus teammates on the training pitch. The young striker, signed from Genoa in the summer, took part in a full group session at the Continassa on Friday for the first time since a run of muscle problems that has so far kept him out of every competitive game in black and white.

His return gives Luciano Spalletti one more name to consider in a week when the squad has been kept together at the training centre ahead of Sunday’s visit of Napoli.

Juventus announced the permanent deal on 1 July, and Football Italia put the fee at €16m plus add ons. The 19 year old has barely been available since.
