As Juventus gears up for their upcoming Champions League fixture against Villarreal on Wednesday, the team faces some uncertainty regarding player fitness. Two key players are currently under medical observation, while another has made a welcome return to training.

Player Status Update for Juventus vs Villarreal

Following their recent 1-1 draw with Atalanta in Serie A, Juventus is preparing for an away match against Villarreal in the Champions League. The fitness of Khephren Thuram and Bremer remains uncertain after both players were substituted as a precautionary measure during the Atalanta game.

Reports indicate that Bremer may have experienced some discomfort in his knee, which is particularly concerning given his recent return from a lengthy 10-month injury absence. Thuram, on the other hand, has been dealing with calf issues.

According to various sources, both Thuram and Bremer continued to train separately at Continassa on Monday, raising questions about their availability for Wednesday`s match.

On a more positive note, Francisco Conceicao, who was absent from the Atalanta match, has resumed full training with the team. He is expected to be available for selection against Villarreal, providing a boost to Juventus` options.

The Juventus coaching staff will be closely monitoring the progress of all three players in the lead-up to this crucial Champions League encounter.
