Swiss defender Stephan Lichtsteiner returns to the Juventus squad for the first time since undergoing heart surgery for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Borussia Moenchengladbach in Germany.

The 31-year-old wing-back had an operation to fix an irregular heartbeat after coming off during a match against Frosinone in September with breathing difficulties.

The former Lille and Lazio player has returned to training and been rewarded with a place in the squad for the trip to Germany as Juve look for a win that could see them clinch qualification for the last 16, depending on the result in the other Group D game between Sevilla and Manchester City.

German international and former Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira will not be fit to play after breaking down during Saturday's Serie A match against Torino.
