Impact Kayode is in talks to leave the club and might be held out until that happens or the end of the window. Dodo will shoulder the load at right-back as he has done for the entire season.

Bags first career goal versus Lazio Kayode scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), five tackles (two won) and four crosses (two accurate) in Monday's 2-1 victory over Lazio.
Impact Kayode was at the right place at the right time to smash home a low-driven feed by a teammate that was deflected by an opponent to record his first-ever goal among the pros. He has started in three of the last four games after being unused twice following the arrival of Marco Davide Faraoni. He has posted 13 crosses (six accurate), 12 tackles (seven won) and five interceptions in such a stretch.

Impact Kayode returned to the XI after watching the last two games from the bench and had a lively performance on both ends. He and Marco Davide Faraoni will likely alternate in the coming weeks, while Dodo (knee) will be brought along slowly. He has assisted once and posted three key passes, 13 crosses (four accurate) and four tackles (two won) in his last four showings.

Serviceable against Monza Kayode recorded one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate), two clearances, and two chances created in Friday's 1-0 win versus Monza.
Impact Kayode often helped the offense with his runs down the flank and was reliable in the back, although he picked up his first yellow card of the season. He doesn't have a lot of competition with Dodo (knee) out long-term. He has recorded three key passes, six crosses (two accurate), and eight tackles (five won) in the last four fixtures.

Solid in Verona tilt Kayode had one cross (one accurate), two blocks, one clearance, and three tackles (two won) in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Verona.

Plays second half Kayode came off the bench and played the second half of Thursday's 2-1 win over Genk.
Impact Kayode returned to the first team after missing a clash with Milan due to an ankle injury. The fact the defender was able to play the entire second half without issue should be a good sign that he is fully fit and available for a Sunday clash with Salernitana.

Ruled out for Milan clash Kayode (ankle) hasn't been selected for Saturday's game versus Milan.
Impact Kayode has started ramping up in training but will be given a few more days to work on his conditioning after a month on the shelf. Fabiano Parisi will most likely play as right-back again.

Expected back for Milan fixture Kayode (ankle) reprised training with no limitations Wednesday, Corriere dello Sport relayed.
Impact Kayode has shaken off an ankle sprain that sidelined him for three matches and will work on his conditioning in the lead-up to the game. He could start over Fabiano Parisi, who adapted to the role, if in good enough shape. He has logged four chances created, 15 crosses (four accurate), and 15 tackles in his last five appearances.

Will miss some time Kayode has been diagnosed with a medium-grade ankle sprain with no bone or ligament damage, Fiorentina announced.
Impact Kayode will have to sit multiple matches but avoided the worst-case scenarios. He might return after the next international break. Niccolo Pierozzi, Pietro Comuzzo, and Fabiano Parisi will be options at right-back while he's out.

Suffers ankle sprain Kayode "sustained a left-ankle sprain that didn't look good. He was suffering. We hope he could recover quickly because we already have big problems at his position," coach Vincenz...
Impact Kayode had to sub off after just ten minutes as he got his leg trapped underneath his body on a tackle. He's headed for some tests. Pietro Comuzzo adapted to the role in relief, while Niccolo Pierozzi manned it later on. Neither of the two youngsters has played much so far. They could also field Fabiano Parisi and Cristiano Biraghi (lower leg) together if the latter recovered.

Forced off early Kayode was forced off with an apparent injury just 10 minutes into Thursday's clash with Cukaricki.
Impact Kayode lasted 10 minutes before going down holding his leg and asking to be subbed off. The nature of the injury isn't clear but it was evident immediately that the defender couldn't carry on. Kayode signed a new long-term extension Wednesday, and still figured to be part of the plans moving forward when fit. In the meantime Pietro Comuzzo could see more opportunities depending on the severity of Kayode's injury.
OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Agrees to multi-year extension Kayode has renewed his contract with Fiorentina until 2028, the club relayed.
Impact Kayode has taken over the starting job since Dodo suffered an ACL tear and has been brilliant considering he debuted in the pros this season. He has recorded 17 crosses (four accurate), 16 tackles, and four chances created in six appearances. He'll enjoy a nice pay bump as well.
