Football Italia reported that Juventus are not overly concerned about Francisco Conceicao after he was forced off in Portugal’s 2-1 Nations League win over Norway on Sunday. The winger left after 55 minutes following a heavy challenge from Julian Ryerson and was replaced by Rafael Leao.
The report says Conceicao has a minor thigh bruise and will be monitored in Portugal training on Tuesday before their trip to Denmark on Thursday. He has remained with the national squad, which Italian reporting described as an encouraging sign for Juventus.
The practical question for Juventus is whether the issue affects his next availability, but the evidence stops short of a confirmed return date. Almost Signed analysis: staying with Portugal rather than heading back to Turin suggests the concern is being treated as limited, not severe.
What remains unconfirmed
- Whether Conceicao will be available for Portugal's trip to Denmark.
- Whether the issue will affect Juventus' next match availability.
