Thiago Motta has confirmed that Francisco Conceicao will be unavailable through injury for Juventus’s upcoming Serie A match against Hellas Verona on Monday evening, along with six of his other Bianconeri teammates.
Conceicao is suffering from muscular discomfort in the thigh of his right leg and will be reassessed during the day on Monday, but the coach is taking no risks and has already ruled him out of tomorrow’s game, which kicks off at 19.45 GMT.
The Portugal international is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period, but it is not yet clear whether he will be available for the massive clash against Atalanta in the league next weekend.
