Key Juventus star risks not playing against Torino due to fitness worry

 

 

Francisco Conceição was a late withdrawal from Juventus’ lineup in their Super Cup semi-final clash against AC Milan, pulling up during the warmup just before kick-off. The Portuguese attacker’s unexpected injury forced a reshuffle in the starting XI, with Kenan Yildiz stepping in to replace him. ............

 

The timing of Conceição’s injury could not have been worse for Juventus. Early indications suggest the problem may be significant, leaving the club concerned about his availability for upcoming matches. While the team awaits the results of medical tests to determine the severity of the injury, the report adds that it is unlikely the winger will be fit for the next game.

 

Juventus face Torino in the first Turin derby of 2025 next weekend, a match that carries immense importance following their disappointing Super Cup exit. Fans are already disheartened by the team’s failure to progress, and they will demand a strong response against their city rivals. A win is not just desirable—it is essential to restore confidence and keep pace in the league.

 

Conceição has been one of Juventus’ standout players this season, contributing significantly with his creativity and attacking flair. However, the team cannot afford to rely too heavily on individual players. The derby against Torino will be a test of the squad’s depth and resilience, especially with Conceição’s availability in doubt. ............

Juventus breathe a sigh of relief: Medical tests confirm no lesions for Conceiçao

 

 

Francisco Conceiçao underwent medical examinations at JMedical, Juventus’ medical center, following concerns about his fitness. The Portuguese winger had been forced to withdraw from the starting lineup just before the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Milan in Riyadh due to discomfort in his right leg flexor.

 

The tests, which lasted just over half an hour, have confirmed the initial diagnosis: there are no lesions to the muscle. This news comes as a relief to the Bianconeri, who were anxious about the extent of Conceiçao’s injury after he left the field in tears before the match against his father Sergio’s Milan side.

 

Juventus will now monitor Conceiçao’s condition day by day to determine if he can recover in time for the upcoming Turin derby against Torino. ............

 

The 22-year-old winger’s availability is particularly significant given the team’s recent setback in the Supercoppa. ............

Conceiçao ‘immediately’ called Veiga to Juventus from Chelsea

 

 

Francisco Conceiçao reveals he ‘immediately’ called his compatriot Renato Veiga when he heard Juventus were interested: ‘I know his quality.’

 

Veiga has moved to Turin from Chelsea on loan until the end of the season. ............

 

“When I heard he could move to Juventus, I immediately called him to say he would join a big club that would help him develop,” said Conceiçao.

 

“I tried to convince him. I know his quality, and I think he can help us.”

 

Conceiçao will meet more familiar faces tomorrow as Benfica will visit the Bianconeri at the Allianz Stadium in the Champions League Round 8. ............

 

 

“We know Benfica’s strength, but we want to give a reply and show who we are.”

 

Juventus recently lost their first league game this season and will be looking to bounce back on Wednesday.

 

“It’s always difficult when you don’t win, but we are in a process. We are a young team, and we train every day to raise the bar,” said Conceiçao.

 

“It’s a competition that everyone dreams of playing.” ............

 

“I want to help the team win, and I work every day for this.”

 

Conceiçao is on loan at Juventus from Porto, but the Bianconeri have a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ to make his move permanent for €30m at the end of the season.

 

“I don’t know what the future has in store, but I want to help the club 100%,” concluded Conceiçao.

 

“I am happy here, and I have settled in well. I focus on myself, and I hope to continue like this.”

Conceicao joins elusive Cristiano Ronaldo club, Kolo Muani equals 13-year record

 

 

On Sunday, Juventus earned themselves a famous victory over their arch-rivals Inter thanks to Francisco Conceicao’s solitary strike. ............

 

Conceicao has now joined an exclusive club, becoming only the third Portuguese player to score for Juventus in the Derby d’Italia. The 22-year-old has some elite company with Cristiano Ronaldo (two goals between 2019 and 2021) and Rui Gil Barros (one goal in 1989).

The Porto loanee has also found the back of the net on two league fixtures in a row at home for the first time in Europe’s Top 10 leagues. ............

 

Finally, Randal Kolo Muani continues to write history with his sensational start at the club. The Frenchman (who provided the assist for Conceicao) has made a direct goal contribution in each of his four Serie A contests for Juventus. The last player to do so was Kwadwo Asamoah after joining the club in the summer of 2012.

When will Juventus have Francisco Conceicao back in action?

 

 

Francisco Conceição is the latest Juventus player to suffer an injury, which forced him to miss their match against Verona. The Portugal international has been one of the club’s most exciting attacking talents and consistently delivers strong performances whenever he is selected. His pace, dribbling ability, and creativity make him a valuable asset to the team, and his absence is a setback for Juventus. ............

 

Fortunately for Juventus, Conceição does not appear to have suffered a serious injury. The attacker is expected to return within ten days. The club are monitoring his progress closely, but they believe he will be fully fit and available for selection after the next international break. While this means he will miss at least one more game, it is a relief that his injury is not long-term. ............

 

Although Juventus would prefer to have him back immediately, they remain cautious when it comes to player fitness. The club have always maintained a strict policy of not rushing injured players back onto the pitch, as doing so can often lead to further setbacks. This approach will not change for Conceição, and Juventus are determined to ensure he makes a full recovery before returning to action. It is a frustrating situation, but the club’s medical staff will take every precaution to avoid aggravating his injury. ............
