Juventus will be concerned about Francisco Conceicao after he suffered a knock during the first half of Portugal’s match against Norway last night.

The attacker has been a key player for the Bianconeri and one of their most trusted options, so it is not surprising that he has also been a starter for Portugal. He was involved in the team that defeated Norway and gave a good account of himself before the injury concern emerged.
The problem occurred in the first half, but Conceicao continued playing and was eventually substituted in the second half, just before the hour mark, as Portugal held on to secure the victory.
Juventus awaits Conceicao update
Conceicao is one of Luciano Spalletti’s most trusted players, so the Juventus manager will be hoping that nothing serious is discovered if the attacker undergoes tests.
The Bianconeri have been in fine form in recent matches, and their fans will want that momentum to continue when the players return from the international break. Keeping their main players fit will be important if Juventus is to maintain its current level of performance.
Calciomercato reports that Conceicao performed well before suffering the blow, adding to the concern around his condition after he was eventually taken off during the second half.

Bianconeri hope Conceicao stays fit
Conceicao has struggled with injuries in the past, although he has managed to remain fit so far this season. Juventus will therefore hope that the latest issue proves to be minor and does not prevent him from returning to action when the club’s fixtures resume.
The attacker has established himself as an important part of Spalletti’s plans, making his availability particularly significant for the Bianconeri. His performances have also helped him maintain his position as one of the trusted players in the squad.
