Fiorentina decimated by injury and disciplinary crisis for Bologna game | OneFootball

Fiorentina risk seeing their campaign fall apart completely, as the squad could be decimated for Sunday’s showdown with Bologna.

It kicks off at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT, 20.45 CET).

Palladino troubled by absences

It has been a rough week for the Viola, who crashed out of the Conference League semi-final in extra time to Real Betis, then lost to Venezia in Serie A to slide down to ninth place.

Now coach Raffaele Palladino is preparing to go head-to-head with Bologna, but has few real options to choose from.

Fiorentina choices severely limited

The Disciplinary Commission is behind many of their problems, as Michael Folorunsho, Lucas Beltran and Nicolò Zaniolo are all suspended.

Moise Kean, Albert Gudmundsson and Danilo Cataldi are still not training with the squad today, which makes it very difficult to see them fit enough to start this weekend.

It is potentially disastrous, as Amir Richardson and Andrea Colpani might have to be used as makeshift forwards.
