Juventus is uncertain about the availability of Bremer and Thuram for their Champions League match against Villarreal due to injuries sustained during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta.

Juventus is facing uncertainty over the availability of two key players, Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram, for their upcoming Champions League match against Villarreal.

Both players requested to be replaced during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta due to physical concerns. Bremer, in particular, is a major doubt for the match, with the full extent of his problem still unknown.

The Brazilian defender has only recently returned from a long-term injury that kept him out of action for almost a full year. Given his recent return to the pitch, Juventus may not want to risk playing him against Villarreal.

Thuram, on the other hand, suffered a calf issue that forced him out of Saturday’s match. While Juventus is not expecting a major injury, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to play against Villarreal.

Both players are expected to undergo medical examinations on Monday to determine the extent of their injuries.

The uncertainty over Bremer and Thuram’s availability adds to Juventus’ challenges ahead of their Champions League match. The team has recorded three successive draws across all competitions, and they will need to be at their best to overcome Villarreal.

The Champions League match against Villarreal is a crucial one for Juventus, and the team will want to ensure that they have their best players available. Despite the possible absences, the team will be focused on playing at their best and ensure they get all 3 points.
