Asamoah to start from the bench as Juve face Bayern in CL

Kwadwo Asamoah will start from the bench for Juventus in Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League first leg tie at Bayern Munich.

The Ghana international has been struggling for a starting role since returning from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

However, last Saturday, he played 60 minutes in the win over Inter.

Juventus coach Antonio Conte opted for Federico Peluso picked rather than Asamoah, as Stephan Lichtsteiner takes the other flank.

Juventus XI: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Peluso; Matri, Quagliarella

Substitutes: Storari, Marrone, Padoin, Pogba, Asamoah, Vucinic, Giovinco.
