Fiorentina wait anxiously for Gudmundsson, Napoli clash in doubt | OneFootball

Fiorentina and Stefano Pioli are looking with concern towards Iceland, where Albert Gudmundsson, fresh from scoring a goal for his national team, has suffered an injury that could complicate the Viola's plans ahead of Saturday's clash against Napoli. The striker might indeed not be available for a match of significant importance for the ambitions of the Gigliati, who are set to face the reigning Italian champions.

Gudmundsson, injured in National duty: Napoli at risk

The physical problem emerged precisely during his commitment with his national team. After the goal, in fact, Gudmundsson experienced discomfort that forced him to stop. For Pioli and his technical staff, this is a warning bell, because the Icelander is a key element in the offensive setup: technique, speed, and the ability to beat his man are rare qualities that have already shown important signs in the early season outings. However, as also highlighted by Corriere Fiorentino, caution is still necessary. Instrumental examinations will clarify the extent of the problem and establish the recovery time. Only then will it be understood if Gudmundsson will be able to play against Napoli or if Pioli will have to redesign the attack, perhaps relying on internal alternatives such as Piccoli and Dzeko.
