Good news for three key Juventus players before Champions League match against Villarreal

Juventus manager Igor Tudor may have good news before Wednesday’s Champions League match against Villarreal.

Three key players  Francisco Conceição, Gleison Bremer, and Khephren Thuram  could all return after recent injury concerns.

Conceição missed the Atalanta match with a muscle strain, but he is expected to rejoin training on Monday. If there are no setbacks, the Portuguese winger will travel with the squad to Spain.

Defender Gleison Bremer left the Atalanta game with knee pain, raising fears of a setback after his ACL surgery last year. However, medical tests cleared him, and the Brazilian has been given the green light to play.
