Predicted Lineups – Francisco Conceicao To Miss Juventus vs Inter Milan Serie A Derby D’Italia Clash | OneFootball

Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao is set to miss Saturday’s Derby d’Italia clash against Inter Milan.

According to today’s edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport, Teun Koopmeiners will step into the Bianconeri team.

This comes after Conceicao suffered a muscle injury on international duty with Portugal that led him to return to Turin early.

New signing Edon Zhegrova will also likely miss the match.

Meanwhile, Lois Openda and Dusan Vlahovic are likely to start from the bench.

Koopmeiners will fill in for Juventus on the right-hand side of Tudor’s attack, just behind Jonathan David and alongside Kenan Yildiz.

Whilst a natural central midfielder, the Dutchman is capable of starring in more advanced roles.

Therefore, the former Atalanta man will fill in for Conceicao as Juventus host Inter Milan on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Pierre Kalulu will remain on the right-hand side, whilst American midfielder Weston McKennie will take the left-flank.
