As Juventus prepares for the highly anticipated Derby d’Italia against Inter Milan this Saturday. Two key players are facing uncertainties due to muscle injuries, casting a shadow over their participation in the crucial match.
Fabio Miretti, who sustained a muscle injury during the friendly match against Next Gen at Allianz Stadium, is still working on his recovery. The 20-year-old midfielder has been training separately from the team as part of his rehabilitation.

His condition is being closely monitored on a day-by-day basis. With the aim of getting him back on the pitch as soon as possible. However, Juventus head coach Igor Tudor has made it clear that they will not rush his return.

Miretti’s availability for the derby remains highly uncertain, and while the final decision will be made at the last minute. And it seems increasingly unlikely that he will feature in the starting lineup this Saturday.
The Juventus medical staff continues to assess Miretti’s progress, and a clearer picture may emerge after the team’s upcoming training sessions. Nonetheless, fans will have to wait for Tudor’s final call, which will depend on how Miretti responds to the next rounds of treatment and practice.
Francisco Conceição faces similar uncertainty
In a similar situation, Francisco Conceição is also dealing with muscle discomfort after leaving the Portugal national team camp prematurely. Like Miretti, Conceição is following a personalized recovery plan, and his participation in the derby remains up in the air.
