Bad luck seems to be following Francisco Conceição. The Portuguese player felt pain again during the warm-up at halftime of the match between Juventus and Lazio and ended up not entering the second half, raising concerns for the decisive phase of the season. The Portuguese international continues to be a headache for Luciano Spalletti. The winger, who was set to replace Cabal in the match against the Roman side, returned to the bench with complaints and an ice pack on his right knee. The Juventus coach's plan was thwarted when Conceição felt the physical issue that has been troubling him for some time. It is worth noting that, during the pre-match press conference, Spalletti revealed that the player was undergoing conditional training and that his participation would only be assessed hours before the game. The origin of the problem dates back to the Coppa Italia match against Atalanta, which resulted in the Turin team's elimination after a 3-0 defeat. It was in that match that Francisco Conceição suffered a muscle overload in his adductor. The injury, initially considered minor, cast doubt on his presence against Lazio, and despite attempts, the discomfort persisted, forcing the player to remain on the bench. A starter for most of the season – when available – Francisco Conceição has recorded 26 matches, with three goals and one assist.
