Gleison Bremer is growing increasingly frustrated with watching from the sidelines. The Juventus defender, known as one of Serie A’s top centre-backs, is itching to return.
After a long spell out, he’s pushing hard to be ready for the start of the new campaign.

The Brazilian’s 2023/24 season came to an abrupt end when he suffered an ACL injury in a Champions League clash against RB Leipzig in early October.
That injury marked a critical downturn for Juventus, who had relied heavily on Bremer’s presence at the back. Without him, their defensive structure weakened, exposing vulnerabilities that cost them key points under Thiago Motta.

Il Bianconero reports that Bremer has been making encouraging progress in his recovery. Despite not playing, he joined the squad for the FIFA Club World Cup — a sign that he’s inching closer to full fitness.
His inclusion showed the club’s faith in his recovery and his own desire to be part of the team’s journey.

Eyes on the season opener against Parma
According to Il Bianconero, Bremer will rejoin the squad officially on July 24 for pre-season. Juventus will travel to Germany for a training camp and a friendly against Borussia Dortmund. These sessions will be crucial in assessing Bremer’s condition and readiness for competitive football.
The ultimate target is clear: to feature in Juventus’ Serie A opener against Parma on August 24. Bremer has circled this date with intent, aiming to mark his return in front of home fans.

However, the final decision will rest with head coach Igor Tudor and the medical staff, who will not rush him back at the expense of long-term health.
After nearly a year of rehabilitation, Juventus are taking no chances. The team is prepared to ease Bremer in gradually to avoid setbacks.
But if all goes well, the Bianconeri might soon welcome back their defensive rock — stronger, hungrier, and more determined than ever.
