Juventus Face Verona Without Conceição Amid Injury Woes
Juventus fans, there’s some unfortunate news ahead of tonight’s Serie A clash against Hellas Verona. Francisco Conceição, the promising Portuguese winger on loan from Porto, has been officially ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The club confirmed earlier today that medical tests at J|Medical revealed an elongation of his right hamstring, forcing him to miss at least the next ten days of action. That means not only is he absent tonight, but he will also miss the upcoming fixture against Atalanta next Sunday.
This injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for Juve, who are already dealing with a growing list of sidelined players. Conceição joins Juan Cabal, Gleison Bremer, Nicolo Savona, Renato Veiga, Arek Milik, and Douglas Luiz in the injury ward, leaving Thiago Motta with limited options as he prepares for this crucial match. However, there’s a small positive—French defender Pierre Kalulu is fit and expected to be on the bench.

Juventus come into this game following a disappointing exit from the Coppa Italia at the hands of Empoli. That defeat was a huge blow, especially considering their earlier elimination from the Champions League. Now, their focus shifts entirely to the Serie A, where they must fight to secure a top-four finish and ensure Champions League football next season. Motta has acknowledged the frustration within the squad but insists that the team is determined to bounce back. He believes the players will channel their anger from the Coppa Italia disappointment into tonight’s game, aiming to take all three points against Verona.
Verona, on the other hand, won’t be an easy opponent. They are coming off an impressive win against Fiorentina and will be looking to build on that momentum. Juventus must be at their best if they want to get back on track. Motta has emphasized the need for a strong performance, both physically and mentally, urging his players to show their superiority on the pitch.
With Conceição out, Juventus will have to rely on their other attacking options to step up. The fans will be hoping for a dominant display and, most importantly, a much-needed victory. Will Juve rise to the occasion and keep their top-four hopes alive? We’ll find out soon enough!
