Juventus injury news: Conceicao risks missing Lazio clash

Juventus are sweating over the fitness of Francisco Conceição ahead of their upcoming Serie A match against Lazio.

The Portuguese winger returned from the Coppa Italia trip to Atalanta with a muscle issue similar to the one recently suffered by Kenan Yildiz, an overload to the adductor.

In Conceição’s case, the problem affects his right leg, according to reports from Gazzetta.it.

The winger was monitored by Juventus medical staff and followed a recovery session alongside the other players who featured in the cup tie.

However, his condition will be reassessed on the eve of the game to determine whether he can be included in the squad.

Juventus winger Conceicao could miss Lazio game

There is a real risk that Conceição could miss the Lazio fixture, a match with personal significance as he would be facing a club closely associated with his father’s career.

Earlier in the week, Yildiz was able to recover after just one day of rest, helped by the extra time between fixtures.

This time, though, the turnaround is tighter, and Conceição’s explosive playing style, built on sharp bursts of pace, makes the situation more delicate.

Luciano Spalletti may therefore have to prepare without one of his key attacking options, while Yildiz’s availability also remains under observation.
