Conceição dislocates shoulder and will miss Juventus v Napoli
The Juventus winger is out for four weeks after the injury against Lazio. His return is pencilled in for the Venezia game.
Conceição will miss Juventus against Napoli. The Juventus winger has dislocated his shoulder and will be out for four weeks. The shoulder was put back in place straight after the Lazio match, and his rehabilitation has started from there. It is the most routine of shoulder injuries, and the cost is already clear: he will sit out the home game against Napoli.
The list of fixtures he misses is long: Rennes, Lecce and Genoa away, Napoli at home, then AZ in Alkmaar and Fiorentina in Florence. The target is the Venezia game, but there is no guarantee he will be ready by then. If not, his return to Spalletti's squad would come between Omonia and Como. For the player, it is a month that ends badly.

For Napoli this is a date to note in the diary, not something to celebrate. Juventus sit above Napoli in the table, with Napoli ninth on 10 points after 7 games. Before anyone thinks about Juventus there is Bodø/Glimt at the Maradona on Tuesday 20 October at 21:00 CET (20:00 UK, 15:00 ET), and then Roma on Saturday 24 October. If Napoli reach the Juventus game still in this shape, one absence on the other side's flank will not be enough to change the match.
