The forward, born in 2000, is recovering from a halt experienced during the match against Lecce, and might eventually return in time to challenge Roma.

Much of Fiorentina-Roma will inevitably also depend on the strikers. Both Dovbyk and Kean have started well, but the star striker remains doubtful at Franchi. The former Juve player emerged battered from the match with Lecce, skipping the European trip and hoping to return. According to ‘Il Corriere Fiorentina’, attempts will be made to place him at Palladino’s disposal in every way possible, both because there isn’t a proper substitute and because he has characteristics that makes a difference for the coach. Yesterday, he attempted to force his return, possessing a physique that enables him to recover rather quickly. The doubt about his presence lingered, but optimism appears to be on the rise.
