Francisco Conceiçao, Juventus’ Portuguese winger, has suffered a hamstring elongation in his right thigh and will be sidelined until the end of March. The injury occurred during a recent training session, prompting the player to undergo medical examinations at J|Medical this morning.
The tests revealed no serious damage but confirmed that Conceiçao will need to rest for about ten days. As a result, he will miss tonight’s Serie A match against Hellas Verona and the upcoming clash with Atalanta. The club expects him to rejoin the group training sessions after the international break.
Conceiçao’s absence adds to Juventus’ current injury woes. He joins a list of short-term absentees including Renato Veiga, Douglas Luiz, and Nicolo Savona. The good news for manager Thiago Motta is that these players, along with Conceiçao, are expected to recover by the end of March, potentially alleviating the team’s injury crisis.
However, long-term injuries to Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal will keep them out until the summer, presenting ongoing challenges for the squad’s depth.
Despite these setbacks, Juventus will be looking to maintain their strong league position as they host Hellas Verona tonight. The return of key players after the international break could provide a timely boost for the final stretch of the season.
