Aaron Ramsey has been left out of Juventus squad for their pre-season tour of the United States amid reports the midfielder wants his contract terminated in Turin.

Yet with a five-point cushion now and a game in hand on second-placed Marseille, the champions proved yet again that they can win without playing anywhere near their …
