Fiorentina v Napoli, likely line-ups: Rrahmani out, Hojlund on the bench | OneFootball

The challenge between Fiorentina and Napoli at Franchi, scheduled for Saturday evening, is drawing near and La Gazzetta dello Sport has anticipated the possible choices of the two coaches. Both teams approach the match with doubts and problems related to injuries.

Towards Fiorentina-Napoli: Conte without Rrahmani due to injury, Pioli considering a three-man midfield

On the Napoli front, the main news concerns Amir Rrahmani. The Kosovar defender will be out for about 15-20 days due to a low-grade injury to the hamstring of his right thigh, suffered while on national duty. A heavy blow for Conte, who will have to redesign the back line. In attack, despite the goal scored with his Denmark, Rasmus Hojlund should initially start from the bench: the coach would prefer to gradually introduce him, relying again on Lorenzo Lucca from the first minute.

On the Fiorentina side, Stefano Pioli seems intent on proposing a three-man midfield to give more balance to his team. On the wings, space for Dodo and Gosens, called to provide thrust and coverage. Up front, Kean remains a certainty, while it is still to be decided who will be his partner: the ballot is open between Piccoli, Dzeko and Fazzini. The presence of Albert Gudmundsson, dealing with a strain to the anterior talofibular ligament, is in serious doubt. The Icelander is not yet at his best and will be evaluated day by day, but the chances of seeing him on the field from the first minute appear reduced.
