Juventus defender Bremer is set to have surgery following an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained against RB Leipzig. The Brazilian player had to leave the field just six minutes into Juventus' 3-2 victory over Leipzig on Wednesday. The club confirmed the severity of his injury on Thursday.

Bremer has been crucial for Thiago Motta's squad this season, playing every minute in Serie A. Remarkably, the team has not conceded a single goal in six matches. He leads his teammates in minutes played (540), interceptions (six), and blocks (11).

In addition to Bremer's injury, Juventus faces another setback with midfielder Nico Gonzalez suffering a thigh muscle injury. Diagnostic tests revealed that Bremer has an ACL injury in his left knee, while Gonzalez has a low-grade injury to the rectus femoris of his right thigh.

The club announced that Bremer will undergo surgery soon. This development is a significant blow to Juventus as they navigate their current season challenges.

Bremer's absence will be felt deeply by the team, given his defensive contributions so far. His ability to intercept and block plays has been unmatched among his peers this season. Meanwhile, Gonzalez's condition will also be monitored closely as he recovers from his thigh issue.

These injuries come at a challenging time for Juventus, who are striving to maintain their strong defensive record in Serie A. The team will need to adapt quickly to these changes and find suitable replacements for their injured players.
