Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao could reportedly miss the upcoming Derby d’Italia clash against Inter Milan.

According to Portugal’s national team’s press release via FCInter1908, the youngster has withdrawn from the Selecao.

Francisco Conceicao signed a permanent contract with Juventus this season after a superb loan from Porto last term.

Indeed, the record-time Serie A champions paid the Dragao outfit over €30 million to secure the diminutive forward’s services.

Conceicao was part of Portugal’s team during September’s international break until this morning.

However, he had to pull out of the squad after suffering a muscle problem, casting doubt on his availability for Saturday.

Therefore, Igor Tudor may be without his first-choice winger when Inter land in Turin this weekend.

With Conceicao likely to be on the sidelines, new signing Lois Openda could make his Serie A debut against the Nerazzurri.

Interestingly, Openda was on Inter’s radar after their pursuit of Ademola Lookman collapsed.

However, he has ended up joining Juventus on loan instead.
