Juventus winger Tim Weah is working overtime to get fit again for the match against Lazio

Juventus winger Timothy Weah is on a mission to regain his optimal physical condition and make himself available for Saturday’s encounter against Lazio.

The 24-year-old started the season with a bang, providing an assist and scoring a goal on the opening day against Como before picking up an injury just before the half-time whistle.

The American managed to overcome this, appearing off the bench three times before suffering an ankle problem.

But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via IlBianconeroWeah is determined to recover in time for next weekend’s match against Lazio.

The former Lille player knows this will be an inviting opportunity to prove his worth to the team, especially with Nico Gonzalez out with an injury and Francisco Conceicao serving a suspension.

As the pink newspaper explains, Thiago Motta gave a three-day rest between Friday and Sunday for the players who remained at Continassa during the international break.

Nevertheless, Weah refused to slow down and insisted on turning up at Juventus’ training center in a bid to speed up his recovery.

If the New York City native manages to shake off his defeat before Saturday, he could be the most likely candidate to start on the right wing, especially amid the lack of options.

Motta will also have to do without Teun Koopmeiners, who is suffering from a broken rib, while Weah’s compatriot Weston McKennie will return early from international duty and will undergo medical tests for fear of possible muscle strain.
