Juventus have confirmed that both Kenan Yildiz and Gleison Bremer will be available to face Galatasaray in the crucial second leg of their Champions League play-off round tie on Wednesday night.
Luciano Spalletti has confirmed his squad of 22 Juventus players to take on Galatasaray in the second leg of their Champions League play-off round tie at the Allianz Stadium.
The Bianconeri need a minor miracle to qualify for the round of 16 after falling to a 5-2 defeat against Galatasaray in Istanbul last week. They now require a victory by three goals if they are to keep their Champions League campaign alive and a victory by four goals if they are to qualify without going to a penalty shoot-out.

Both Yildiz and Bremer are in the squad to face Galatasaray on Wednesday evening despite earlierdoubts regarding their availability. Spalletti has confirmed that Yildiz is in contention to play from the off, but Bremer is less likely to be named in the starting XI.
The Bianconeri are without Andrea Cambiaso and Juan Cabal through suspension, which means that Next Gen defenders Javier Gil Puche and Niccolo Rizzo have been called up to the matchday squad.
Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik remain unavailable through injury.
Kick-off is due at 20.00 GMT on Wednesday evening.
