Juventus' Bremer Has Successful Meniscus Surgery in Lyon

The defender begins rehab with an expected multiweek absence that forces a thin back line into immediate reshuffle.

Overview

  • Juventus confirmed a selective arthroscopic meniscectomy on Bremer’s left knee at Hôpital Privé Jean Mermoz under Dr. Bertrand Sonnery‑Cottet, with club doctor Paolo Cavallo present, and said the procedure went well.
  • Media and medical estimates place his layoff at roughly 4–8 weeks, with specialist Fabrizio Tencone indicating six to eight weeks is likely given the player’s history and build.
  • He is set to miss several fixtures including Como, Real Madrid and Lazio, with multiple outlets projecting around 10 games out across Serie A and the Champions League.
  • The injury involves the same left knee that sustained an ACL rupture in October 2024, prompting a cautious, graded rehabilitation plan from the club.
  • Coach Igor Tudor must cover with four centre‑backs — Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly and Rugani — as reports suggest he may keep a back three, while Next Gen option Pedro Felipe is out short term and January defensive additions are being evaluated by the club.
