Bremer's Cruciate Ligament injury, sustained during Juventus' 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig, will keep him sidelined for several months, potentially until the end of the season. This injury presents a significant setback for Juventus, as Bremer has been a crucial figure in their defense. To understand just how important he has been to the team's defensive efforts, a closer look at his statistics compared to other center-backs in Serie A provides insight into his remarkable season.
Player compared to positional peers in the 2024-2025 Serie A season. Based on 540 minutes played, Bremer's contributions have been outstanding. His pass accuracy of 92.9% (87th percentile) and 84 passes attempted per 90 minutes (98th percentile) place him among the best defenders in Serie A when it comes to maintaining possession and initiating attacks from the back. These stats highlight his role as a key distributor in Juventus' possession-based system.
Defensively, Bremer excels in several categories. His 2.5 tackles per 90 minutes (94th percentile) and 2.5 blocks per 90 minutes (98th percentile) show his effectiveness in breaking up opposition play and protecting the goal. While his 1.0 interceptions per 90 minutes and 2.67 clearances per 90 minutes aren’t standout numbers, they do reflect his ability to read the game and position himself effectively to nullify threats. His defensive style focuses more on positioning and controlled interventions rather than frequent clearances, contributing to Juventus’ organized defensive structure.
Although Bremer doesn’t contribute significantly to the offensive side of the game, with 0.00 assists and 0.50 shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (25th percentile), his passing and tackling abilities make him an indispensable part of Juventus' defense. His 1.83 aerial duels won per 90 minutes (35th percentile) indicate solid but not extraordinary strength in the air, yet he compensates for this with his excellent ground play.
With Bremer out of action, Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti are expected to form Juventus' new center-back partnership. While both players are capable, replacing Bremer’s unique skill set will be a significant challenge. The team will likely rely on Kalulu’s pace and Gatti’s physical presence to try to replicate some of Bremer’s contributions. However, recent reports in the media suggest that Juventus is also exploring a potential free transfer for Sergio Ramos as a temporary solution until the end of the season, which could add experience and leadership to their backline.
Bremer’s absence will undoubtedly have a profound impact on Juventus' defensive stability and ambitions for the season. The numbers underline how critical he has been, and filling the void he leaves will require a collective effort from the team.
