Juventus breathe a sigh of relief after Bremer medical tests | OneFootball

Juventus and centre-back Gleison Bremer can breathe a sigh of relief following his early withdrawal during Tuesday night’s 5-2 loss away against Galatasaray, as medical tests have confirmed that the Brazilian has not torn a muscle in his leg.

When is Bremer expected to return for Juventus?

Bremer was forced off the pitch in the 37th minute of Juventus’s 5-2 Champions League play-off defeat against Galatasaray on Tuesday evening with the scores 2-1 in favour of the Bianconeri at the time. Many outlets in Italy suggest that it was not a coincidence that Juventus collapsed in the second half after their most trusted defender went off.

Initial reports suspected that it was a muscular injury that was troubling Bremer during the first half in Istanbul.

The club have since been able to rule out any serious tears or lesions, which means that Bremer is not expected to be sidelined for a significant period of time.

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bremer will follow an individualised training programme over the next few days, but a spot in the squad to face Como in Serie A on Saturday evening has not been ruled out.

A more likely scenario, however, is that Bremer is rested for the Como match and marks his return in the second leg against Galatasaray on Tuesday according to the Pink Paper.
