Juventus provide update on Francisco Conceição injury... and the news isn't good

Francisco Conceição is set to be sidelined for around a month after suffering a dislocated left shoulder. The Portugal international sustained the injury on Sunday during Juventus' defeat against Lazio, with further medical tests this morning confirming the severity of the damage.

In an official medical statement, the Turin club detailed the winger's condition: "Following the trauma to his left shoulder suffered during the match against Lazio, Francisco Conceição underwent diagnostic tests this morning at J/Medical. The exams revealed signs of a glenohumeral dislocation, which was already reduced yesterday evening. The player will undergo conservative treatment and has already begun rehabilitation to return to action."

Given the situation, the Portuguese winger is only expected to return to action following the international break in mid-November. As a result, Conceição is poised to miss a significant run of fixtures for the Bianconeri: Rennes (October 22), Lecce (October 25), Genoa (October 28), Napoli (November 1), AZ Alkmaar (November 5), and Fiorentina (November 8).

Consequently, he is unlikely to be available for Jorge Jesus to call up for the upcoming clashes against Denmark (14/11) and Wales (17/11) to close out the Nations League group stage.

If his rehabilitation progresses as scheduled, the Italian giants' winger could return to contention on November 22, when Juventus host Venezia.
