Current Status of Bremer, Thuram and Conceicao
During their recent league encounter with Atalanta, both Khephren Thuram and Bremer were withdrawn from play as a precaution. Latest Monday afternoon updates indicate that both remain doubts for the Champions League test, with their involvement still uncertain. Bremer reportedly experienced discomfort in his knee, of particular concern as he is just returning from a 10-month injury lay-off. Thuram, meanwhile, was affected by calf discomfort. Both players continued individual training sessions at Continassa on Monday, with their recovery closely monitored.
In more positive news for the Bianconeri, Francisco Conceicao, who missed the Atalanta match, has now resumed full training with the squad. His return boosts Juventus’ options ahead of the midweek fixture, making him likely to be available for selection.
| Player | Recent Issue | Training Status (Monday) | Availability vs Villarreal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bremer | Knee discomfort (post 10-month lay-off) | Trained separately | Doubtful |
| Khephren Thuram | Calf discomfort | Trained separately | Doubtful |
| Francisco Conceicao | Missed last match | Full training with squad | Expected to be available |
