Serie A giants Juventus have suffered a major setback with defender Gleison Bremer picking up another knee injury just weeks after returning from a long-term layoff. The Brazilian centre-back was forced off against Atalanta due to discomfort in his left knee. Notably, Gleison Bremer experienced pain in the same knee that he underwent surgery for an ACL injury last October. <\/p>
Initial assessments showed damage to the medial meniscus. In a social media post, Juventus confirmed that Bremer will undergo keyhole surgery to repair the issue. Bremer had only recently regained full fitness after a ten-month absence and was slowly re-establishing himself as a cornerstone of Igor Tudor’s defense. <\/p>
Juventus released a statement which read, “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. In the next few hours the player will undergo selective arthroscopic meniscectomy.<\/em>“<\/p>
