Juventus received positive injury updates during the international break, as several players progressed in their recoveries, and the development matters because coach Luciano Spalletti was forced to reshuffle his tactics when missing around 10 players at a time.
Conceicao back in training
Sky Sport Italia reported that Francisco Conceicao returned to full training on 11 November, over three weeks after dislocating his shoulder.
Francisco Conceicao, a Portugal international, hopes to be available for Juventus’ first Serie A match back from the break against Venezia on Sunday November 22.
Other recovery updates
Juventus hope Nico Gonzalez will fully recover during the break for international duty.
Nico Gonzalez is getting closer to the full training routine following a calf strain in late October.
Andrea Cambiaso is another Juventus player hoping to be back after the break for international duty.
Juventus will need to wait longer for Kenan Yildiz, who underwent surgery for a stress fracture in his foot in late August.
There are hopes Kenan Yildiz should be available again in December.
Squad options and the January window
These injury developments point to Luciano Spalletti having more wide options to choose from.
The prospect of more wide options could prompt Juventus to look elsewhere for January reinforcements.
Players still out
Pierre Kalulu, Khephren Thuram, Manuel Locatelli, Kamil Grabara and Aradkiusz Milik are still out of action for Juventus.
