Gleison Bremer’s long recovery is finally nearing its conclusion. The Brazilian defender, sidelined since late September with a meniscus injury, is now beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel after nearly three months out of action.
Return Timetable
Bremer will not be included in Juventus’ squad for Wednesday’s Champions League fixture against Cypriot side Pafos, as the club continues to take a cautious approach. However, his full return to group training is expected later this week, once that match is out of the way.
If his progress continues as planned, Bremer could be back among the squad for Sunday’s league clash against Bologna, though a real return to the pitch looks more likely in the high-profile encounter against Roma on 20 December. Coaching staff prefer to phase him back gradually rather than rushing his recovery.
The Injury Setback
The Brazilian centre-half sustained the injury to his left knee during the Serie A match against Atalanta on 27 September. Tests revealed a meniscus lesion — a setback made more delicate by the fact it affected the same knee previously operated on in 2024 for an anterior cruciate ligament issue.
Step by Step Recovery
After weeks of rehabilitation and controlled workloads, Bremer has steadily increased his fitness levels. Juventus remain optimistic but vigilant, aware of how vital his presence is in the back line. With both domestic and European competitions intensifying, the return of one of their defensive leaders could not come at a better time.
If all goes according to plan, Bremer could be available for selection before the winter break — a timely boost as Juventus aim to close the year on a strong note.
