Nicolas Gonzalez - Dealing with strain Gonzalez suffered a grade two strain of the myotendinous junction of the biceps femoris muscle in the right thigh, Fiorentina announced.

Impact Gonzalez had been originally called up despite missing the recent matches with Fiorentina with a similar but less severe problem and, in general, sitting out for most of the first half of the campaign due to various injuries. The latest one should sideline him for four-to-six weeks, so he's not a lock to be ready for January 4's home game versus Monza.

Nicolas Gonzalez - Doubt for opener Gonalez (thigh) is considered a doubt for Tuesday's opening match against Saudi Arabia, according to TyC Sports.

Impact Gonzalez has had a tough time with a thigh injury that's held him out for the last three weeks and he's made just six league appearances for Fiorentina this season. Pending his status, Gonzalez will be an alternate option capable of playing along the left flank or across the attack.

Dodo - Avoids major issues Dodo (thigh) was checked on by the medical staff but didn't require further tests before going on vacation, La Nazione reports.

Impact Dodo won't need special treatments considering that he'll have nearly two months to shake off a minor issue. He has logged one assist, six chances created, 13 crosses (one accurate), 16 tackles, and eight interceptions in 12 matches so far.

Pierluigi Gollini - Stays on bench in Milan clash Gollini (back) didn't play in Sunday's 1-2 loss to Milan.

Impact Gollini returned to the bench after some back pain, but he didn't star as in most Serie A contests this season since Pietro Terracciano continues going strong, while he had some gaffes when called upon in European Conference League. He has started just three times domestically, allowing two goals, making six saves, and keeping two clean sheets.

Giacomo Bonaventura - Unused versus Milan Bonaventura (ribs) didn't play in Sunday's 1-2 loss to Milan.

Nikola Milenkovic - Own goal sinks squad Milenkovic made four clearances and an interception but was charged with an own goal during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Milenkovic put forth a valiant defensive effort for most of the evening, but he accidentally helped seal the victory for the Rossoneri just one minute into stoppage time with a poorly-timed touch toward the net. On the league season, the defender is averaging 2.5 clearances per matchup.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pietro Terracciano - One save in defeat Terracciano made one save (two goals conceded) and two clearances during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Terracciano was a bit unlucky to suffer the loss in this one, as the game-deciding tally was actually an own goal conceded by Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic. The keeper was also beaten by Rafael Leao during the second minute but did relatively well to keep the game scoreless otherwise.

Cristiano Biraghi - Whips in 14 and seven Biraghi sent in 14 crosses (two accurate), delivered seven corners and took one shot (zero on target) during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Biraghi led all players on the pitch in crosses, but he wasn't particularly efficient with those attempts and only connected successfully twice. He was also his squad's preferred option from both corners. As long as he continues generating this type of volume, he'll retain value in all formats.

He finishes an injury-riddled first portion of the season with one goal, ten shots (two on target), two chances created, and five inaccurate crosses. Christian Kouame and Riccardo Saponara have filled in for him on the left flank.

Pierluigi Gollini - Called up versus Milan Gollini (back) has been named in Fiorentina's squad list to face Milan Sunday.
