Kwadwo Asamoah named in Juventus squad for UEFA Champions League clash with Monaco

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has included Ghana star Kwadwo Asamoah in his squad for Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League semi-final clash against Monaco.

The midfielder is part of the Italian giants’ 21-man squad making the trip to France for the first leg clash and could be called upon to play a part in the match.

Juventus will be seeking a positive first leg result which would spur them on to reach the final in Cardiff.

Below is the full 21-man squad:

1 Buffon, 3 Chiellini, 4 Benatia, 5 Pjanic, 7 Cuadrado,

8 Marchisio, 9 Higuain, 12 Alex Sandro, 14 Mattiello,
