There's nothing irregular with Asamoah. He was out for almost an entire season, and he was always going to require half a season before he could be counted on. In summer and at start of the season, I didn't expect him to be a major player for us till January. And those two little injuries he picked up were normal too. Happens when you're training and playing to return to full fitness after being out for that long, and in Asamoah's case, it happened the two times Allegri, due to others' injuries, was forced to start him in one game and enter him in 1st half of another. At that time, he was only supposed to make sub appearances.
It was before the winter break when Allegri said Asamoah could only play only once every two weeks or max once every week which isn't unexpected in Asamoah's case. And Asamoah had confirmed that his knee has been fine and that he's training well. No need to rush him back now with most of our midfielders fit. I expect him to return to being an important player for us in the 2nd half of the season soon enough.
