As Fiorentina prepares for their upcoming match at the Via del Mare, coach Vanoli faces several challenges. Key players such as Kean, Parisi, and Fortini are sidelined due to injuries, impacting the team’s lineup.
Fiorentina Predicted Lineup vs. Lecce
Despite these setbacks, most of the squad remains fit for selection. The notable inclusion is Brescianini, though he is expected to start on the bench. This opens up the midfield for Mandragora, Fagioli, and Ndour to take charge of ball distribution and control.
Defensive Setup
In defense, Rugani is likely to secure a starting position. His recent performance against Lazio showcased his skills, and he comes into this match well-rested, having not participated in the recent Conference League clash. This absence enhances his readiness for the Serie A fixture.
Attacking Options
Fiorentina’s forward line will feature Piccoli as the central striker. He will be supported by either Gudmundsson, Harrison, or Solomon, with only two spots available for the three contenders. Additionally, young talent Braschi may find himself on the pitch, aiming for his Serie A debut. He already made an appearance in European competition a month ago.
Summary of Key Players
- Injured Players: Kean, Parisi, Fortini
- Returning Player: Brescianini (expected on bench)
- Midfield Starters: Mandragora, Fagioli, Ndour
- Defensive Candidate: Rugani
- Forward Line: Piccoli (center), with potential support from Gudmundsson, Harrison, or Solomon
- Potential Debutante: Braschi
Fiorentina will look to strategize effectively against Lecce. With a lineup shaped by both injury concerns and the return of key players, the team aims for a successful outcome in the series.
