Juventus have confirmed Francisco Conceicao suffered a shoulder problem against Lazio, while local reports suggest the winger could miss around a month.
The club’s diagnosis, reported by Portuguese outlet Observador from a Juventus medical update, followed examinations after the injury on Sunday, October 18. Juventus said Conceicao had started rehabilitation, but did not give a return date.
ANSA had reported on Monday, October 19, that Conceicao was due to undergo specific tests at J Medical, with a month on the sidelines a possibility if those checks confirmed a dislocation. Observador’s account of the club update subsequently described the injury as a possible glenohumeral dislocation pending the J Medical examinations.
The distinction matters for the timetable: the roughly one-month estimate comes from local media reporting, not a recovery date announced by Juventus. Observador also reported that the club had not disclosed the expected length of his absence.
Conceicao’s injury came during the 3-0 defeat to Lazio, leaving Juventus to assess their options on the wing while he begins rehabilitation. A month-long layoff would keep the Portugal international out of selection for a significant run of fixtures, although the club has not confirmed that timeframe.
The setback puts fresh focus on the attacking contribution Juventus lose when Conceicao is unavailable. His goals and assists have been part of his contribution in Turin, and the injury adds a selection concern after a difficult result against Lazio. He has also attracted attention around his involvement at the club, as Conceicao’s role at Juventus has been discussed in recent coverage.
For now, Conceicao’s rehabilitation is under way. Juventus have yet to publish a target date for his return, while the month-long estimate remains the timeframe reported by local media.
