Bremer made his comeback at the start of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign, featuring in Juventus’ 2:0 win against Parma on the opening weekend. However, he was absent from the starting eleven for the subsequent two fixtures ahead of the international break.
Official Diagnosis and Recovery Timeline
The club has now confirmed that a tear to the meniscus in Bremer’s left knee will require him to undergo surgery for a second successive season. The defender, aged 28, will once again have to pause his campaign as he recovers from the procedure. Reports in Italy suggest that Bremer is expected to be out of action for at least 45 days, with initial predictions from the club stating that he is likely to be sidelined for over a month.
| Player | Age | Injury | Date of Initial Injury | Previous Absence | Date of Latest Injury | Estimated Time Out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gleison Bremer | 28 | Torn meniscus (left knee) | October 2024 (ACL vs RB Leipzig) | Most of 2024-25 season | 2025-26 Serie A, post-opening match | At least 45 days |
Impact on Juventus Squad
Bremer’s extended recovery represents a significant blow to Juventus’ defensive options as they continue their Serie A campaign and prepare for upcoming fixtures following the international break. The club will have to adjust their line-up to compensate for the absence of their experienced central defender.
