Morata returns to Juve training after overcoming illness

After leaving training early Wednesday with the flu, Alvaro Morata will be fit to face Chievo in Serie A action Saturday.

Juventus forward Alvaro Morata has returned to training ahead of the Serie A champions' clash with Chievo on Saturday.

The former Real Madrid man, who did not start in either of Juve's opening league fixtures because of a thigh injury picked up during preseason, left training early Wednesday after coming down with flu-like symptoms.

But the 22-year-old Spain international, who scored 15 goals across all competitions last season, has made a swift recovery.
