Bad news for Juventus: Francisco Conceiçao has suffered a’elongation of the biceps in his right thigh and will be out until the league break. The Bianconeri striker had complained of discomfort on Sunday during the final training session, which had recommended that he undergo instrumental examinations.

Conceiçao, the son of the Milan coach who is certainly not having a better time at the helm of the Rossoneri, will also miss Juventus-Atalanta, in addition, of course, to tonight’s match against Hellas Verona.

Today closes the 27th day of Serie A. Juventus hosts Hellas Verona with the goal of redeeming the bitter elimination from the Coppa Italia at the hands of Empoli and overtaking Lazio again in the standings, so as to regain fourth place. Lots of pressure on Thiago Motta after his post-match outburst in the challenge with Empoli.

The Bianconeri coach called for a reaction of pride from his team. There'è a place in the Champions League to be won and it is necessary to have the right attitude. There are several changes in the lineup. In particular, it should change, again, the attacking trident against the Scaligera formation.

Kolo Muani is expected to be the central striker with Vlahovic destined, again, to sit on the bench. After playing, together, against Empoli, it&#39s back to the old fashioned way with the Frenchman preferred to the Serbian who, however, is expected to come in as the match goes on.

Completing the trident should be Yildiz and Nico Gonzalez with Conceiçao out of the picture. For both, a great chance to shine. In midfield, Locatelli is expected to return alongside Thuram (Douglas Luiz unavailable). In defense, always Kelly as center back alongside Gatti with Cambiaso and Weah completing the defensive four. Thiago Motta knows he canò t afford any more missteps.
