Picture: Kean returns to Fiorentina training for Conference League semis | OneFootball

Moise Kean returned to the Fiorentina training ground today, and although he only worked separately, he’s expected to be available for the first leg of the Conference League semifinals against Real Betis on Thursday.

The Italian striker has missed the last two Serie A matches for serious personal reasons.

Kean, however, returned to training at Viola Park this morning, as shown through Fiorentina’s official X account, formerly Twitter.

As reported by FirenzeViola, Kean worked separately in the gym today, but he is expected to be available on Thursday, when the Tuscans visit Real Betis in the first leg of the Conference League semifinals.

Kean is Fiorentina’s best scorer this season with 23 goals in 39 games across all competitions.

He has netted 17 times in Serie A, only Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui has more.

What Fiorentina said about Kean

“We must support him now, and we hope he returns with the same desire he had before. Those who replaced him did well, and I am happy about Beltran’s goal; he needed it so much,” Fiorentina director Daniele Pradé said after a 2-1 away win against Cagliari last week.

The Tuscans also beat Empoli with the same result in the latest Serie A round, and Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino said after the game: “He made us feel his affection even from afar. We’ve acknowledged that he’s going through a tough moment. He should return tomorrow evening and be available from Tuesday.”

Fiorentina remain in the race for the top four in Serie A and will meet Roma in the next Serie A match.
