The constant injuries has caused Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti to change formations on more than one occasion over the past few weeks. However, those changes have also coincided with the fact that Francisco Conceição has been out injured after separating his shoulder in Juve’s blunder of a 3-0 loss to Lazio last month.
Well, as of this week, Chico is back in training.
But it comes at a time in which Spalletti has seen one of his under-fire strikers, Randal Kolo Muani, play his best ball of the season at the same time in which Juve’s manager has switch to a two-striker formation and the Frenchman has played a much wider role than he did earlier this season as a result. You know, the kind of wider role that could very well see him potentially occupy the same kind of spaces that Conceição has for much of his time in Spalletti’s 4-2-3-1 (or some variation of it).
Does Conceição fit into this team with the way Spalletti has Kolo Muani playing?
Is the best thing to do for this team is to take another midfielder off the field in favor of Conceição?
There are a lot of questions to be answered now that a player that Spalletti has come to rely on and play more often than not in the form Conceição being available for selection again when Juve take the field next weekend against Venezia. (Remember, it’s one of those wonderful Sunday lunchtime kickoffs, so plan accordingly.)
Well, except for the one where we wonder out loud when Edon Zhegrova will actually start a game because that looks even more unlikely at this point.
So, today’s Juventus Question of the Day is this: How much should Spalletti switch things up to try and accommodate Conceição’s impending return to the starting lineup?
