Juventus could be without Gleison Bremer for their important Champions League game against Villarreal, as the defender is still training away from the main group.
The Brazilian centre-back seemed to pick up a problem during the weekend’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta, raising fresh concerns about his fitness.
For coach Igor Tudor, the news comes at a bad time since Bremer has been a key figure in defence since his return from a previous injury.

Bremer has re-established himself as the leader of Juventus’ backline. His strong performances have been vital in helping the team grind out results in close games. Losing him now, just before a big European night, would be a huge setback.
Bremer is currently doing individual training sessions as the club carefully manages his recovery. The staff want to avoid making the issue worse. Midfielder Khephren Thuram is also training separately after feeling discomfort against Atalanta.
Juventus fans are understandably worried. While having Bremer and Thuram available would make the team stronger against Villarreal, the club must decide whether to risk them or hold them back to prevent longer-term problems.

If the two players are not ready, Tudor will need to depend on the rest of his squad to step up. Managing player fitness will be crucial, as Juventus face a long season with tough matches ahead in both Serie A and the Champions League.
For now, supporters will hope that Bremer recovers in time, as his presence in defence remains vital for the team’s ambitions in Italy and Europe.
