Benfica on alert: Juventus suffer key injury before Champions League | OneFootball

Juventus are once again facing problems in their defensive line. According to the latest information, the Vecchia Signora, one of Benfica’s opponents in the Champions League, will once again be without Bremer. The Brazilian international, who had only recently returned from a serious injury, will have to undergo surgery once again.

As reported by the newspaper A Bola this Monday, the Bianconeri player is heading back to the treatment room, exactly one month after returning from a serious injury suffered in October 2024. Having recovered from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, which kept him off the pitch for around 300 days, Bremer had already played five matches this season.

Now misfortune has struck again for Juventus’ centre-back, who will have to undergo another operation. In a statement, Juventus revealed the player’s medical status: “This morning, in Lyon, Gleison Bremer underwent a medical consultation with Dr. Sonnery-Cottet, who diagnosed a tear in the medial meniscus of the left knee. In the coming hours, the player will undergo a selective arthroscopic meniscectomy.”

It is also worth remembering that Bremer’s injury, which kept him practically out of competition last season, forced the Vecchia Signora to go into the market to find a solution. For a long time, the Turin club pushed to sign António Silva, but Benfica were always intransigent regarding the player’s departure.

The match between the Italians and the Eagles is scheduled only for early 2026, more precisely on January 21, counting for the 7th round of the Champions League league phase. Before that, Benfica will first face Newcastle next Tuesday, October 21, at a time when the Club of Light returns to training.
