Head Coach Cristian Chivu is navigating through a challenging period. Key players like Lautaro Martinez, Alessandro Bastoni, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are sidelined with injuries. In their absence, Carlos Augusto steps into the back line, while Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries return to action.
Fiorentina’s Recent Form
Fiorentina comes into this match on a high note. They recently defeated Cremonese 4-1, pulling away from the relegation zone. Additionally, they secured a win against Rakow in Poland, setting up a Conference League quarter-final against Crystal Palace.
Moise Kean is eager to contribute, having just returned from an ankle injury. Other notable returns include Albert Gudmundsson and Robin Gosens. However, the team still faces absences with Manor Solomon, Luca Lezzerini, and Tariq Lamptey unable to participate.
