Fiorentina coach Vanoli provides injury update for Italy star Kean: ‘Day by day’
Fiorentina star Kean will miss tomorrow’s Conference League Round of 16 first leg game against Rakow, Vanoli confirmed at a press conference on Wednesday.
Kean to miss Fiorentina vs. Rakow
“We are continuing with a recovery process and evaluating him day by day. The target is to have him in Cremona,” the Viola coach said via TMW.
Kean has sustained a fibula injury, and Fiorentina hope he’ll be back for the next Serie A match away at Cremonese. It’s a crucial fixture for the Tuscans, who are just one point above the Grigiorossi in the relegation zone.
Gudmundsson is expected to be available tomorrow but is not in his best shape.
“Right now, he must regain full fitness after an ankle problem. He misses being decisive, but he still does important things,” Vanoli said.
“I like him more in his new role than as a support striker. He must only find that spark; we know he can be decisive in the final games.
“We are focused on this game. The Conference League is an important trophy that we want to honour and go as far as possible. We find a team that did very well in the league phase. They defend well and have only conceded two goals. We must think that we’ll play across two games, so we have to be smart. We’ll think about Cremonese on Friday.”
