Juventus defender Bremer suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee during Wednesday's Champions League match against Bull Leipzig and will undergo surgery in the coming days.

"Unfortunately, we have received the sad news of the serious injury of one of our players, Bremer, a man who deserves all our respect, consideration, affection, and support, so that he may return as soon as possible. We are calling Beraldo from PSG in his place", said coach Dorival Junior.
