Juventus defender Gleison Bremer is set for additional time on the sidelines, as the club has now confirmed he’ll undergo surgery.

It was almost a year ago when the Brazilian tore his ACL during a Champions League clash against RB Leipzig. This devastating injury not only kept him on the sidelines for about 10 months, but also hampered the club’s path throughout the rest of the 2024/25 season, as the once-impenetrable backline started leaking goals on a weekly basis.

Bremer made his return to action in pre-season, immediately retaining his regular starting berth when the new campaign kicked off.

But sadly for the 28-year-old, he felt pain in his operated left knee during the Serie A contest against Atalanta last month, which ruled him out once more.

According to a statement released by the official Juventus website, Bremer must go under the knife to repair the damage in his meniscus.

“This morning in Lyon, Gleison Bremer underwent a medical consultation with Dr. Sonnery-Cottet, who diagnosed him with a torn medial meniscus in his left knee,” reads the official note published on Monday.

“In the next few hours, the player will undergo selective arthroscopic meniscectomy.”

When Bremer will return from his injury

At this early stage, it is difficult to place a timetable on the player’s possible return to the fold. However, IlBianconero estimates a recovery period that should exceed one month.

In the meantime, Igor Tudor will have to rely on Federico Gatti, Daniele Rugani, Lloyd Kelly, as well as Pierre Kalulu, who is originally a centre-back, but is being fielded as a right wing-back.
