Bad injury news has emerged for Juventus as the Italian club confirmed that Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram are not part of the squad for the match against Villarreal in the Champions League.

Both players were in doubt, but the club has already made it official after publishing their squad list to face the Spanish side.

As reported by Tuttomercatoweb, Bremer, 28, was training separately from the rest of his teammates after having had a slight relapse of his injury in the last Serie A match against Atalanta.

The same report indicated that Thuram, 24, joined Bremer in said training, so there were already signs that both players would be ruled out by coach Igor Tudor to face Villarreal.

1. Mattia Perin
4. Federico Gatti
5. Manuel Locatelli
6. Lloyd Kelly
7. Francisco Conceicao
