Cristiano Biraghi - Registers own goal and assist Biraghi scored an own goal, registered an assist and attempted seven crosses (two accurate) in Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Monza.

Impact Biraghi had an eventful game, although there was little he could do when Pietro Terracciano parried a shot which bounced off the left-back and into the net. He ranks first for attempted crosses in Serie A this season with an astonishing 272 (82 accurate), which is 83 more than his nearest challenger, but only has three assists.

Christian Kouame - Scores and assists in win Kouame grabbed a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Monza.

Impact Having been an unused substitute in eight of the last 11 games, Kouame made a statement to his manager by picking up multiple attacking returns in a single game for the first time this season. His assist was one of three goal-scoring opportunities he created and he has surely done enough to earn another chance to impress in Sunday's match against Sampdoria.

Pietro Terracciano - Concedes three Terracciano conceded three goals and made three saves in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Monza.

Impact Terracciano was at fault for Monza's second goal, misjudging a long ball from the opposing keeper, which allowed Dany Mota Carvalho to score. He is without a clean sheet in his last three games and will be in search of his sixth of the season when his team faces bottom-placed Sampdoria on Sunday.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sofyan Amrabat - Called up for Monza game Amrabat (back) will be available Sunday versus Monza, Fiorentina announced.

Impact Amrabat has shaken off a back problem that sidelined him for a few days and might be able to return to the XI right away, replacing either Rolando Mandragora or Gaetano Castrovilli, but it will hinge on his level of fitness. He has tallied three crosses (one accurate), six tackles (two won), seven clearances, and two interceptions in his last five appearances.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Ikone - Good to go for Monza clash Ikone was spared due to fatigue midweek versus Lech Poznan and logged multiple full practices afterward, Sky Italy relays.

He has logged two off-target shots (three chances created, four crosses (one accurate), and two tackles (one won) in his last three appearances off the bench.

Giacomo Bonaventura - Ruled out for Monza game Bonaventura (thigh) "won't be available versus Monza, but his problem doesn't look too worrisome," coach Vincenzo Italiano announced.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giacomo Bonaventura - Bows out against Lech Poznan Bonaventura left Thursday's Conference League game versus Lech Poznan at half time due to a right adductor issue, Fiorentina announced.

Impact Bonaventura picked up a thigh problem in the first half and will soon take some tests. Coach Vincenzo Italiano sounded hopeful he was dealing with muscle fatigue and not anything more substantial, but the short turnaround puts him at risk for the Monza game. He has generally alternated with Antonin Barak as a no.10.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Ikone - Ruled out for continental game Ikone hasn't been called up for Thursday's match versus Lech Poznan because he hasn't recovered fully from the last Serie A game, coach Vincenzo Italiano informed.

Impact Ikone is dealing with some lingering fatigue and won't be involved to avoid more serious problems. His absence will lead to more playing time for Riccardo Saponara and Riccardo Sottil, but he could be back for Sunday's match versus Monza.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Brekalo - Will not play against Lech Poznan Brekalo (head) will be unavailable Thursday against Lech Poznan, coach Vincenzo Italiano informed.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Brekalo - Dealing with head injury Brekalo couldn't continue versus Atalanta due to a blow to the head, coach Vincenzo Italiano informed.

Impact Brekalo collided with an opponent in the air and tried to play for a few minutes before bowing out. He'll look to clear the necessary protocol ahead of their next matches.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Brekalo - Subs in and out Brekalo was injured and subbed out in the 64th minute of Monday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta. He had one shot (zero on goal) before exiting the match.

Impact Fiorentina subbed in Brekalo at halftime. However, an undisclosed injury caused the team to replace him with Riccardo Sottil. As for Brekalo, he is expected to be a game-time decision before Fiorentina's next matchup, currently scheduled at Monza on Sunday.

Arthur Cabral - Scores goal Cabral scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal) in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta.

Rolando Mandragora - Six crosses as defensive midfielder Mandragora recorded six crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Mandragora attempted 15 crosses across his five Serie A appearances between March 12 and April 17. The 25-year-old served as a defensive midfielder, an unassuming role he is expected to continue being indefinitely across Fiorentina's future games.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksa Terzic - Attempts six crosses Terzic generated six crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Atalanta.

Impact Cristiano Biraghi was given a start off, so Terzic was Fiorentina's starting left-back Monday. He logged the team's best cross tally during his first appearance since February. Considering he and Biraghi have been healthy from that point, it is only reasonable to expect the latter reclaiming his starting spot back before the month finishes.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pietro Terracciano - Concedes goal Terracciano conceded one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Atalanta logged only one shot on goal when the team visited Fiorentina. However, Terracciano was unable to stop the shot, which Joakim Maehle scored. The goalkeeper will try to redeem himself during Fiorentina's next game, currently scheduled Sunday at Monza, a team that has 35 goals across its 30 games of the 2022-23 Serie A.
