Report – Juventus Suffer Double Injury Blow Ahead Of Derby d’Italia Showdown Vs Inter M

Juventus is likely to be without Fabio Miretti and Francisco Conceicao for the upcoming Derby d'Italia against Inter Milan on Saturday, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, due to both players being at risk of missing the match.

Francisco Conceicao's absence is particularly significant, as he has been a key driving force in Juventus's attack this season, contributing creativity and the ability to stretch defenses, despite not scoring. He withdrew early from Portugal's national team due to a muscle injury, which could also cause him to miss the Champions League opener against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, leaving coach Igor Tudor with decisions to make in the attacking setup.

Fabio Miretti's potential unavailability may not drastically alter the midfield, as he spent the latter part of last season on loan at Genoa and remains low in the pecking order at Juventus, indicating his absence might have a minimal impact on the team's structure.

In light of Conceicao's injury, Teun Koopmeiners could return to the starting line-up for the match against Inter Milan, providing an alternative option for Tudor to maintain the team's offensive capabilities.
