Emre Can and Mario Mandzukic have been left out from the Juventus’ Champions League squad for the group stages.
The Croatian is said to be already aware that he was not part of their plan as Juve tried to get him off their books in the transfer window.
Emre Can on the other is said to be upset with his name being omitted from the squad.

“Juventus made false promises” : Emre Can
Speaking to the press on Wednesday, “It was very shocking for me because last week I was told and promised something else”
“Yesterday I got a call from the coach, in which he told me in less than a minute and without explanation that I was not in the squad.
“Me and my agent had talks with other clubs, Paris [Saint-Germain] as well. After discussions with Juventus, we decided to stay with the club.”
“A condition was to play in the Champions League, and that was what I was promised. “
“Yesterday it was said – one day after the transfer period ended – that I’m not in. It just makes me angry how they’ve dealt with me.”
“I’ll deal with the consequences when I get back and talk to the club. I want, and I have, to play in the Champions League.”
Emre Can struggled to make the Juventus XI last season.
The German has been a disappointment playing at Juventus as he has struggled to get a place in the Juve XI.
Can started just 20 league games last season and struggled to perform on a consistent basis.
His one memorable performance came against Atletico in the second leg quarterfinal of the Champions League.
Where he dropped back to essentially work as 3rd CB for Juventus which allowed other players to push up in the field and attack freely.
But performances like this were far from few from the German who now will be looking to move away from the club.
