Juventus were soundly beaten in an embarrassing 3-0 victory at home against Lazio on Sunday evening, and to make matters worse for the Bianconeri, Francisco Conceicao is now looking at up to a month on the sidelines as the club fear he has suffered a dislocated shoulder. 

Juventus concern over Conceicao’s potentially dislocated shoulder

Goals from Oliver Provstgaard, Gustav Isaksen and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru gave Lazio a 3-0 victory away against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night, which has sent Gennaro Gattuso’s side back to the top of the Serie A standings along with Inter, while the Bianconeri sit eight points off the lead after seven league games in 2026-27. 

This result leaves Juventus in a worse position after seven matches of the 2026-27 season than they were at the same stage last year, just before previous head coach Igor Tudor was given his marching orders. 

To make matters worse, the club are concerned that Conceicao has dislocated his shoulder, according to Monday’s reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport. 

The Portugal international is expected to report for examinations at JMedical on Monday. If the shoulder dislocation is confirmed, Conceicao will be looking at around a month on the sidelines, which will keep him out of action until the November international break. 

Juventus are already without Kenan Yildiz, as well as midfielders Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli. Jeff Ekhator, Arkadiusz Milik and Kamil Grabara were also unavailable against Lazio.
