Rome: Juventus defender Gleison Bremer will undergo surgery on a knee injury picked up in midweek Champions League action against Leipzig, the Serie A club announced on Thursday.
Bremer suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee in the sixth minute of the game the Italians won 3-2. He will undergo surgery in the coming days, Juventus said.
The 27-year-old's recovery is expected to take at least six months which could rule him out for most of the season, according to Italian press reports.
The Brazilian has been a key element in coach Thiago Motta's defensive strategy playing all their Champions League and Serie A games.
Juventus are second in Serie A, one point behind Napoli after six matches.
