Liverpool-linked Francisco Conceicao failed to impress for Portugal on Sunday. The Juventus star has been mooted as a potential Mo Salah replacement, but he’s a player not every Liverpool fan will be familiar with.



Publico write: “On the side of the wings, Conceicao again left the indication that he is more useful to leave on the bench than to start in the eleven.”That’s not too promising from a Liverpool perspective.
