Portugal have confirmed that Francisco Conceição did not suffer a serious injury after the Juventus winger was forced off during the Nations League victory over Norway.
Conceição took a heavy blow in the first half and briefly received treatment before returning to the pitch after the break. However, he was eventually substituted as a precaution, with reports initially raising concerns about a possible injury.
Further assessments have now provided reassurance, with no significant injury reported. The update will come as a relief to Juventus, who have already dealt with several injury problems this season and continue to rely on Conceição as an important attacking option.
The 23-year-old has made a strong start to the campaign, contributing goals and assists for Luciano Spalletti’s side. His performances have also continued to attract attention from clubs in the Premier League.
Liverpool have been among the clubs linked with Conceição, with reports previously suggesting the Reds viewed the Portugal international as a potential option for their attack. Recent reports have also indicated that Liverpool made contact regarding the winger during the summer, although no formal transfer was completed.
Conceição has previously played down the speculation surrounding his future, making it clear that he is happy at Juventus and focused on contributing to the Italian club.
The winger remains under contract with Juventus until 2030, meaning any future approach would have to involve negotiations with the Turin club. For now, however, the immediate concern surrounding his fitness appears to have passed.
With Portugal’s international commitments continuing and Juventus preparing for the return of domestic football, Conceição will now look to maintain his form while the transfer speculation surrounding his future continues to develop.
