Lesion of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. The worst news for Gleison Bremer and for the Juventus it arrived the day after the splendid victory in Leipzig, which began with the centre-back’s injury. An unnatural twist of the knee in a melee with Openda which already in the first moments did not promise anything good. Bremer will undergo an icruciate ligament reconstruction surgery and will have to stay away from the fields at least for 6/7 months: from the smile for the victory to the sadness for the season practically compromised for the Brazilian defender, who at the age of 27 suffered the first serious injury of his career.
“It’s difficult to find the words in this difficult moment, unfortunately the exam results were the worst” Bremer wrote on Instagram -. It is a challenge that I want to face with the same motivation as always, it will be an opportunity to grow, improve and come back stronger and now a long recovery awaits me but my support for the team and my teammates will not be lacking. Thank you all for the support, go Juventus. Always with you.”
Bremer’s injury in Leipzig
Already upon his arrival at J Medical, on a rainy morning in Turin, the sensations were anything but positive. The first findings after the match in Leipzig were anything but encouraging for Bremer and for Motta, who until yesterday has never managed to do without the centre-back, using him in all the matches, the only player in the squad together with Vlahovic always start as a starter.
Having got out of the club’s Jeep on crutches, he made the journey to the Juventus medical center with the mood of someone who knows that the rest of the season would depend on that exam. The result was the feared one: the player will have to undergo surgery and, in the event of a miraculous recovery, he could be available again, but not in top condition, around May. There is some small hope of being able to see him on the pitch in the Club World Cup at the end of June, although much will depend on the rehabilitation and success of the surgery.
Who will play in place of Bremer
With the Brazilian defender’s exit from the field, Juventus found themselves without their point of reference and, also thanks to Leipzig, it showed. Still without a goal conceded in the league and with only one goal in the middle of injury time against PSV, Juventus capitulated twice and risked conceding more. However, if this did not happen it is also due to the excellent performance of Kalulu e Gattithose who from now on will most likely be the starting pair of central defenders for Motta. The Frenchman is increasingly a leader in defense and has provided improving performances to date, becoming indispensable and providential in recent matches, while the captain has fully recovered from his ankle injury. Spaces could also open up for Danilowhich hasn’t had many to date, while also Cabalwho has almost always been used as a left winger, is capable of playing central defender. Furthermore, Motta’s game system, which favors high pressure and recovering the ball in the attacking zone, raises the team’s center of gravity, easing the pressure on the central defenders. Solutions that will have to become systemic soon, to make up for the absence of a point of reference like Bremer.
