Juventus defender Gleison Bremer has joked that his new teammate Lois Openda will \u2018still be apologising\u2019 after an incident that led to the Brazilian rupturing his cruciate ligament (ACL) during a Champions League clash between the Bianconeri and RB Leipzig last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bremer tore his cruciate ligament<\/a> during Juventus\u2019s 3-2 win over RB Leipzig<\/a> in the league phase of last season\u2019s Champions League, an injury which ultimately kept him out for the remainder of the season. He has recently marked his return to Serie A action nine months further down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of the injury, Bremer was chasing down and then collided with then-Leipzig striker Openda, who has recently completed a transfer from the Bundesliga side to Juventus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Given that Openda joined Juventus on the final day of the summer transfer window, and then immediately reported for international duty with Belgium, he and Bremer have not yet had an opportunity to speak face-to-face.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bremer, however, has revealed that Openda apologised profusely after the incident last year, and has joked that he will still be apologising when they meet up again later this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s destiny,\u201d Bremer said when asked about Openda becoming a new Juve teammate in a clip released on the club\u2019s social media channels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cStraight after the injury, after the match, he wrote to me apologising, saying he didn\u2019t want for that to happen. Absolutely, it was an accident, a consequence of the game. I\u2019ve done that action a thousand times before, but unfortunately it happened with him. These things happen. It\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t seen each other here at Continassa yet, but it\u2019s all good. He\u2019ll still be apologising,\u201d the Brazilian laughed.<\/p>\n
