Report – Fiorentina Squad Decimated Ahead Of Inter Milan Serie A Showdown | OneFootball

Fiorentina and Inter Milan will trade tackles in the postponed Serie A fixture at Stadio Artemio Franchi tomorrow.

According to FCInterNews, Raffaele Palladino faces substantial selection problems ahead of Thursday’s meeting in Florence.

Unlike Inter Milan, La Viola had taken a proactive approach in the January transfer window.

Indeed, the club bid farewell to four first-team stars, including Jonathan Ikone and Riccardo Sottil.

Furthermore, Michael Kayode and Christian Kouame also left the club.

Meanwhile, four players joined the team, with Nicolo Zaniolo and Nicolo Fagioli headlining the list of arrivals.

However, Serie A rules forbid the newcomers from featuring in postponed fixtures.

As things stand, Palladino could only have 13 players at his disposal.

Daniele Cataldi and Andrea Colpani face a race against time to make the matchday squad.

But even if they make it, they’ll likely start on the bench.

Fiorentina’s personnel issues must be music to Inter’s ears.

After sharing the spoils with AC Milan, Simone Inzaghi is keen to take three points in Tuscany.

Indeed, that would see his side draw level with table-topping Napoli.
