Pierluigi Gollini - Unused versus Atalanta Gollini (knee) didn't feature in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Atalanta.

Impact Gollini was available after a knee bruise, but Pietro Terracciano has won the starting job as far as Serie A fixtures are concerned for the time being. He should get the opportunity to change that by playing in the European Conference League.

Riccardo Sottil - Ruled out for Atalanta clash Sottil wasn't included in Fiorentina's squad list to face Atalanta Sunday.

Impact Sottil is reportedly nursing a muscular problem and will sit out at least one game. Nicolas Gonzalez and Riccardo Saponara will be the top options for the left wing Sunday.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pierluigi Gollini - Shakes off physical problem Gollini (knee) has returned to full practice during the break, La Nazione reports.

Impact Gollini missed the last Serie A game because of a bruise, but he got over it in a hurry. While he will be available versus Atalanta, it's likely that Pietro Terracciano will man the sticks in Serie A for the time being considering that he has fared better, while Gollini should get the nod in the European Conference League matches. He has started three matches, allowing two goals, making six saves, and keeping two clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Milenkovic - Expected to return against Atalanta Milenkovic (thigh) returned to full training Tuesday, Gianluca Di Marzio informs.

Impact Milenkovic was sidelined by a thigh strain in the past two matches. He's on track to be back in the XI for the Atalanta game, where he could replace either Lucas Martinez Quarta or Igor and resume leading the backline. He has notched nine tackles, three interceptions, five clearances and two blocks in four matches, with two clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Gonzalez - Scores in Verona game Gonzalez (heel) drew one foul, took one shot on target, sent in one inaccurate cross, and scored a goal in 24 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 win over Verona.

Impact Gonzalez returned on the pitch after a while and tucked home a square ball by Rolando Mandragora to seal the deal. Now seemingly healthy, he's set to reprise his meaningful role in the Fiorentina offense. He has been able to play in just three matches so far, notching seven shots (one on target), one chance created, and two inaccurate crosses.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Martinez - Shows well against Verona Martinez Quarta won four of six tackles and had four clearances, two interceptions, and one block in Sunday's 2-0 win over Verona.

Impact Martinez Quarta managed to play despite picking up an ailment midweek and turned in his best showing of the season, contributing to shutting down the opponents. With Nikola Milenkovic expected to return from a thigh injury after the break, he will likely split minutes with Igor going forward. He has recorded 23 tackles, seven interceptions, 24 clearances, and six blocks in seven games (six starts).

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Riccardo Sottil - Creates three chances against Verona Sottil (back) took one shot on target, created three scoring chances, and drew two fouls in Sunday's 2-0 win over Verona.

Impact Sottil got the start upon shaking off some back pain and was among the peppiest attackers for his side, even though he wasn't involved in the two goals. The return of Nicolas Gonzalez might affect his playing time. He has notched two assists, 12 shots (seven on target), ten chances created, and 20 crosses (two accurate) in seven games (five starts).

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Szymon Zurkowski - Doesn't feature against Verona Zurkowski was an unused sub in Sunday's 2-0 win over Verona.

Impact Zurkowski returned in the call-ups but doesn't seem to have a meaningful role even though the team held onto him during the summer. He has appeared just twice off the bench for a total of 30 minutes.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Igor - Completes suspension Igor served his one-game ban in Sunday's 2-0 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Igor will be back in the XI, replacing Luca Ranieri in the back in October 10's away game versus Fiorentina. He has notched six tackles, three interceptions, three clearances, and two blocks in four games, with no clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pierluigi Gollini - Picks up small knee injury Gollini will be unavailable for Sunday's match against Verona due to knee contusion, Fiorentina reported.

Impact Gollini got hurt while starting in European Conference League, where he had a howler, and wasn't expected to be in the XI since Pietro Terracciano has been playing domestically lately. He will be backed up by Michele Cerofolini.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Szymon Zurkowski - Available against Verona Zurkowski (conditioning) will be an option for Sunday's match against Verona, Fiorentina announced.

Impact Zurkowski has been in and out of the squad list due to fatigue and lack of conditioning, but he's good to go for this one, but he's probably a long shot to start given the situation. He has played just 30 minutes so far, registering one assist, two shots (one on target) and one chance created.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Riccardo Sottil - Will be back against Verona Sottil (back) has been named in Fiorentina's call-ups for Sunday's game versus Verona.

Impact Sottil is set to return after bowing out early in the last Serie A tilt and missing a midweek one in Europe. He will be in contention to start. He has been one of their few attackers to produce thus far, as he has notched two assists, 11 shots (six on target), seven chances created, and 14 crosses (one accurate).

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Martinez - Available versus Verona Martinez Quarta (undisclosed) has been called up by Fiorentina for Sunday's game against Verona.

Impact Martinez Quarta pulled up right before the recent Conference League match, but he'll try to give it a go a few days later as the injury isn't too severe. He would get the nod if fit enough because Igor (suspension) and Nikola Milenkovic (thigh) are missing. He has notched 17 tackles, five interceptions, 20 clearances, and five blocks in five games, with one clean sheet.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Gonzalez - Called up for Verona match Gonzalez (heel) has been named in Fiorentina's squad list to face Verona Sunday.

Impact Gonzalez is fit enough to be an option after sitting out three of the past four matches with a lingering injury and might be eased into action at first. He has tallied one chance created, six off-target shots, and one inaccurate cross thus far.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Martinez - Late scratch for Conference League game Martinez Quarta was pulled from the starting XI for Thursday's 0-3 loss to Istanbul Basaksehir after an injury while warming up, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Martinez Quarta will be properly evaluated as the team headed home after the trip to Turkey. The coach adapted Sofyan Amrabat to center-back Thursday, and that could be the case also against Verona Sunday since Igor is suspended and Nikola Milenkovic (thigh) is hurt.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Riccardo Sottil - Ruled out for European Conference game Sottil wasn't included in Fiorentina's call-ups to face Istanbul Basaksehir Thursday due to back pain, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Sottil subbed off over the weekend due to the issue and will be re-assessed ahead of Sunday's game against Verona, but he's at risk of sitting out another one since he's been limited in practice after the hiccup.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Called up for Basaksehir game Duncan (thigh) has been named in Fiorentina's squad list to face Istanbul Basaksehir Thursday.

Impact Duncan has shaken off a thigh problem that sidelined him for the past four Serie A contests. He will resume being an option in the midfield and challenge primarily Antonin Barak and Youssef Maleh. He tallied two goals, two assists, 26 chances created, and 34 tackles in 33 appearances (21 starts) last season.
