Juventus dey prepare to face Cagliari on Sunday, October 6, 2024, for their Serie A match, despite the big blow of losing defender Gleison Bremer to a potential season-ending injury. Bremer, who play every minute for Juventus this season until now, suffer an anterior cruciate ligament injury during their midweek Champions League win over RB Leipzig.
Thiago Motta, the manager of Juventus, express his sadness over Bremer’s injury but emphasize that the team will give extra effort to compensate for his absence. “Gleison is an important player for us. I’m very sorry for the boy, because already, humanly speaking he is fantastic, technically I don’t need to say it, we all know it,” Motta say during a press conference. “From now on we will all give something more, also because if it had been another teammate who had to stop like that, I am convinced that he would have taken this responsibility to give something more every day.
Besides Bremer, Juventus will also be without forward Timothy Weah and winger Nicolas Gonzalez for the match against Cagliari. However, Motta remain optimistic about the team’s chances, highlighting the importance of their home advantage and the support of their fans. “For us right now, the game tomorrow is our most important. We’ll face a confident team after their win last time out. They’re quick, strong on the break… Tomorrow, though, we’ll be at home in front of our fans and we want to use that in our favour.
The match, scheduled for 12:30 CEST at the Allianz Stadium, promises to be an exciting encounter as Juventus aims to build on the positive vibes from their recent win in Leipzig. Players like Nicolo Fagioli, Weston McKennie, and Dusan Vlahovic are expected to play key roles in the game.
