Fiorentina, Pioli worried: ankle injury for Gudmundsson with Iceland

Bad news for Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina. Albert Gudmundsson scores the 4-0 goal for Iceland against Azerbaijan in the match valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, but gets injured in the same action and is substituted due to an ankle injury: Hlynsson, who scored the 5-0, comes on in his place.

According to what has been learned, the Fiorentina player, when putting his left leg back on the ground, was overwhelmed by an opponent in the penalty area, causing him to put his foot down badly. Gudmundsson then collapsed in pain with his hands on his face.

The injury during the match with the national team

Albert Gudmundsson was among the protagonists of Iceland's clear victory against Azerbaijan, signing the temporary 4-0 goal at 66'. However, the positive evening had a bitter ending: a few minutes after the goal, the Fiorentina striker suffered an ankle sprain that forced him to leave the field.

The first medical evaluations

The Icelandic technical commissioner clarified in the post-match:

"We hope to have a clearer diagnosis tomorrow. The ankle has slightly twisted, but we cannot yet determine the extent of the problem. We will evaluate in the coming days if he will be available for Tuesday."

Fiorentina's wait

The news has inevitably set off the alarm in the Fiorentina camp, especially in view of the resumption of the championship. Fiorentina, in fact, will face Napoli in a delicate match, and Gudmundsson's presence will be carefully evaluated by the medical staff.
