Juventus Defender Bremer to Have Knee Surgery
Juventus defender Gleison Bremer is set to undergo surgery after tearing the meniscus ligament in his left knee. The Serie A club confirmed the diagnosis on Monday, stating the 28-year-old Brazilian center-back will have an arthroscopic meniscectomy. This is a new setback for Bremer, who missed most of last season with a different knee injury. Italian media reports estimate he could be sidelined for about a month. His absence is a further blow to coach Igor Tudor's defensive options, as the team is already missing another key defender due to injury. Juventus, currently fifth in the league, faces Como in their next Serie A match.
