Juventus has lost a key defender due to injury

Juventus central defender Gleison Bremer has sustained a serious injury during the Champions League match against RB Leipzig, which ended in a 3-2 victory for Juventus. 

The Brazilian player was forced to leave the game in the sixth minute. According to journalist Giovanni Albanese, there are suspicions of a torn cruciate ligament. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the 27-year-old defender may not return to the pitch for the remainder of the season. 

Notably, Gleison Bremer had not been substituted in any of the previous seven matches under head coach Thiago Motta. On Sunday, October 6, Juventus will face Cagliari in a home Serie A match.
