Fiorentina is set to visit Rakow for the second leg of their Conference League Round of 16 clash, with Moise Kean available but likely to start as a substitute.
The match is scheduled for 18:45 CET (17:45 GMT). Fiorentina, also known as the Viola, holds a 2-1 advantage from the first leg held in Florence.
The Florentine squad has traveled to Poland missing several players due to injury, including Manor Solomon, Tariq Lamptey, Luca Lezzerini, and Niccolò Fortini. Additionally, Marco Brescianini and Daniele Rugani are ineligible as they are not registered in Fiorentina’s UEFA squad.
Reports from various outlets indicate that Roberto Piccoli is expected to spearhead Fiorentina’s attack again, with Italian international Kean starting from the bench despite his availability.
It is also anticipated that David de Gea will be rested, allowing Oliver Christensen to take his place in goal.
Both Gazzetta and Tuttosport suggest that Jack Harrison will occupy the right wing, with Jacopo Fazzini deployed on the left flank.
The team advancing from this tie will proceed to the quarter-finals, where they will meet either AEK Larnaca or Crystal Palace.
