Thiago Motta is using this international break to do some intense work at Continassa. These weeks are very important mainly for the new signings, who will be able to use each session to find a good understanding with their teammates. The black and white club, through its official website, took stock of the training session carried out yesterday: “The black and whites continue to train at Continassa under the orders of Mister Thiago Motta and his staff. Fourth consecutive day of work for the group – after Sunday evening’s match against Roma – who also today (yesterday, ed.), Thursday 5 September, met in the morning at the Training Center. After an initial warm-up phase, the focus of today’s session was on technique and ball possession, before moving on, in closing, to physical work”.
Thiago Motta loses Conceicao for almost a month.
Bad news for Chico Conceicao and Juventus, because the tests carried out yesterday revealed a muscle injury that could even keep him out for almost a month, even if the official press release from the black and white club speaks of new tests in about ten days, but no precise information is given: “Francisco Conceicao, following the muscle problem he suffered during yesterday’s training, underwent diagnostic tests at J|medical which revealed a lesion of the peroneal muscles of the right leg. The player will undergo new tests in 10 days”. The Portuguese winger will certainly miss the matches against Empoli and Psv and his recovery for the match against Napoli seems difficult. In fact, it is more likely that he will be on the pitch on September 28 for the match against Genoa or for the away match in Leipzig on October 2.
Weah and Thuram try to return for Empoli. Milik still out.
When the championship resumes, Thiago Motta hopes to have Weah and Thuram available again, both of whom had stopped due to muscular problems during the debut match against Como. The two Juventus players have not yet worked with the group, but they are definitely better and the Juventus staff is growing in confidence for a possible call-up for the match, on Saturday 14 September, against D’Aversa’s Empoli. It’s a longer journey, however, for Arek Milik who is still out of action after the operation on the medial meniscus performed last June, which prevented him from taking part in Euro 2024 with his Poland. The Juventus number 14 is working hard to try to be there for the match at the Allianz Stadium against Napoli. Between injuries and recoveries, Juventus is training intensely to continue to improve and to try to include the new signings as soon as possible.
