Overview

• Juventus said Gleison Bremer has a torn medial meniscus in his left knee and will undergo a selective arthroscopic meniscectomy within hours after a consultation in Lyon with Dr. Matthieu Sonnery-Cottet.
• The injury affects the same knee Bremer damaged with an ACL tear last season, following a brief return that included a start on opening day and two recent games without a starting berth.
• Initial Italian reports, including La Gazzetta dello Sport, indicate an absence of longer than a month with a possible target after the November international break, though the exact timeline remains unconfirmed.
• Coach Igor Tudor has four senior centre-backs available in Federico Gatti, Pierre Kalulu, Lloyd Kelly and Daniele Rugani, with Gatti expected to deputize centrally and Rugani likely to see expanded minutes.
• If the projected timeline holds, Juventus must adjust for upcoming dates against Como, Real Madrid, Lazio, Sporting CP and Torino, with Manuel Locatelli or Next Gen defender Pedro Felipe considered if depth is stretched.
