MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sofyan Amrabat - Ruled out for Salernitana match Amrabat hasn't been selected for Wednesday's game versus Salernitana, Fiorentina informed.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luka Jovic - Three assists in easy win Jovic registered three assists, creating five chances in total and attempted two shots (one on target) in Sunday's 5-0 victory against Sampdoria.

Impact Jovic has mostly been restricted to minutes from the bench during the second half on the season, with manager Vincenzo Italiano usually preferring Arthur Cabral. The striker made the statement he needed to try and get back in the starting XI with a hat-trick of assists. He has failed to live up to the hype since signing from Real Madrid but will look to end the season strongly.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dodo - Scores first Serie A goal Dodo scored from his only shot and attempted three crosses (none accurate) in Sunday's 5-0 win over Sampdoria.

Impact Terzic only played the last three minutes, but managed to score the first goal of his professional career.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Kouame - Scores again Kouame came off the bench to score from his only shot in Sunday's 5-0 thrashing of Sampdoria.

Impact Kouame followed up his goal and assist last week with a calm finish after being played in by Sofyan Amrabat.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Scores in win Duncan scored once from three shots (one on target) and attempted two crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 5-0 victory over Sampdoria.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gaetano Castrovilli - Scores opener Castrovilli scored his first goal in 16 months and attempted 5 shots (three on target) in Sunday's 5-0 win over Sampdoria.

Impact Castrovilli returned from a torn ACL in January, only to suffer another injury blow soon after which kept him out for a further month. He has now started four of the last five games and will be delighted to have gotten his name on the scoresheet. The attacking midfielder had more shots than any other player and was unlucky not to come away with more than a single goal.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michele Cerofolini - Clean sheet on debut Cerofolini made his Fiorentina debut and kept a clean sheet, making one save in Sunday's 5-0 hammering of Sampdoria.

He did not face much of a test, as the opponents only managed one shot on target. It remains to be seen who manager Vincenzo Italiano will choose in goal for Wednesday's match against Salernitana.

Lorenzo Venuti - Available for Coppa Italia game Venuti (illness) was a substitute option in Thursday's cup match versus Cremonese.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sofyan Amrabat - Sloppy versus Monza Amrabat (back) created one scoring chance, sent in one accurate cross, won one tackle, and committed three fouls in Sunday's 2-3 loss to Monza.

Impact Amrabat didn't have a great showing and contributed to his team's collapse causing a silly PK. He has notched seven tackles (three won), two interceptions, six clearances, and four crosses (two accurate) in his last five appearances.
