Juventus defender Gleison Bremer started working with the ball again today for the first time since knee surgery, so is hoping to participate in the Club World Cup.

The centre-back saw his season come to a premature end when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in early October 2024.

The setback occurred just a few minutes into the 3-2 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig and this kind of injury requires approximately six months out.

Juventus ready for Bremer comeback

Bremer has been following all the medical advice and today there was a significant breakthrough, as Sky Sport Italia report he resumed working with the ball in training.

That suggests his return to the field could be very soon, with the hope of having the Brazilian participate in the Club World Cup.

Juventus are in a group with Al-Ain, Wydad AC and Manchester City, with those games played from June 19 in the USA.

The Bianconeri must first finish their Serie A campaign, where they are fighting to secure a top four finish, with consequent Champions League qualification.
