Albert Gudmundsson - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Facing extended absence Gudmundsson (shoulder) "has been told he could miss up to two months, but we hope he'll recover more quickly," coach Gennaro Gattuso announced.

Impact Gudmundsson sprained his AC joint playing with Iceland and, while he avoided surgery and escaped without too much structural damage, he's set for a fairly lengthy spell on the sidelines. He's been a deputy in multiple offensive and midfield roles thus far.

Set to skip some matches Gudmundsson is dealing with a left AC joint sprain that was immediately reduced, Lazio announced.

Impact Gudmundsson is poised to be sidelined for three to four weeks, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, so he'll have to miss at least one or two matches in October. He wasn't a regular yet following a late transfer. Mattia Zaccagni, Gustav Tang Isaksen and Mattia Cancellieri could enjoy an uptick in minutes in his absence.

Diagnosed with shoulder injury Gudmundsson is dealing with a minor shoulder sprain and could miss time after the break, Il Messaggero reported.

Impact Gudmundsson returned early from Iceland after getting dinged up during a Nations League game. While the tests ruled out serious damage, he's considered iffy for at least the Monza game on October 11. He'll be closely monitored in the next 10 days. He's only been deployed off the bench so far.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Withdrawn injured against Estonia Gudmundsson was forced off after 30 minutes of Iceland's Nations League opener against Estonia on Saturday,

Impact Gudmundsson could be sidelined pending the outcome of an examination, and no timeframe can be attached until then. He is one of Iceland's primary attacking outlets and had started the group opener. The forward joined Lazio on loan from Fiorentina this season, and the club will be monitoring the situation through the remainder of the window.

Impact Gudmundsson made an immediate impact off the bench, deciding the game with a sneaky header from the middle of the box on a cross from the left wing. He'll likely operate behind Davide Frattesi and Mattia Zaccagni early in his Lazio stay. He has recorded multiple crosses and at least one key pass in his first two showings, accumulating six (two on target) and six, respectively.

SEPTEMBER 7 • Associated Press

Transfers to Lazio Gudmundsson is moving to Lazio on loan from Fiorentina.

Impact Gudmundsson departs after struggling to replicate his Genoa numbers in his two years at Fiorentina, although he was still solid in 2025/2026, totaling 41 shots (15 on target), 32 chances created and 57 crosses (13 accurate) in 33 tilts (27 starts). Fiorentina have signed Alieu Njie and Pedro Goncalves, while he'll compete with Mattia Zaccagni and Davide Frattesi in Rome, unless the coach switches to a very offensive-minded scheme featuring all three together.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Creates five chances in Frosinone game Gudmundsson registered four shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four corners and created five scoring chances in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Frosinone.

Impact Gudmudsson made his seasonal debut after oddly not seeing any minutes in the opener, replacing Marco Brescianini in the XI, and engineered most of the offense, putting up strong numbers and leading his team in key passes, but Fiorentina didn't manage to score despite creating a lot. Fiorentina are rumored to be adding competition on the wings, so his playing time isn't particularly secure.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Will return against Lecce Gudmundsson cleared a one-game ban in Monday's 1-0 victory over Lecce.

Impact Gudmundsson was given the standard punishment after quarreling with an opponent and will likely unseat Jacopo Fazzini against Lecce on Monday. He has registered at least one cross in five consecutive outings, piling up 14 (one accurate), scoring and assisting once and notching seven shots (four on target) and four key passes during that stretch.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off against Verona Gudmundsson recorded two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) before being shown a red card in the 86th minute of Saturday's 1-0 win over Verona.

Impact Gudmundsson had a rather subdued performance before getting into a long altercation with Tomas Suslov late in the game, which resulted in both players getting expelled. He'll be unavailable for next Monday's home game versus Lazio. If Manor Salomon (thigh) and Fabiano Parisi (foot) don't return, Jacopo Fazzini will draw a rare start.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Goal, assist in win Gudmundsson scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Monday's 4-1 victory over Cremonese.

Impact Gudmundsson scored and added one assist during Monday's win. He was efficient with just a single shot and single chance created. That sort of efficiency will be crucial with some tough matches against top of the table opposition coming in the next few weeks. Gudmundsson has the potential to be a consistent goal threat with this sort of efficiency.

MARCH 16 • Associated Press

Quiet against Udinese Gudmundsson crossed once inaccurately during Monday's 3-0 loss to Udinese.

Impact Gudmundsson was kept in check Monday as he registered just the lone cross following a two match absence due to an ankle injury. The attacker hasn't had a goal involvement since January 18th as he's combined for three shots, three chances created and two crosses in his last three appearances.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Unused sub versus Pisa Gudmundsson (ankle) didn't play in Monday's 1-0 victory over Pisa, and coach Paolo Vanoli stated he was on the bench despite not being 100 percent yet.

Impact Gudmundsson made only a token appearance on the bench and will look to get healthier ahead of Monday's away clash with Udinese, but he might need to be managed a while longer, also because Jack Harrison and Manor Solomon have been fine in relief. Gudmundsson has notched at least one key pass in his last five showings, amassing 10 chances created and adding two assists, nine shots (two on target) and eight crosses (two accurate) over that span.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option Gudmundsson (ankle) is on the bench for Monday's match against Pisa.

Impact Gudmundsson is making the squad Monday despite a late call, passing his testing ahead of the match. He started in 11 straight games before his injury absence and will look to return to that role after building up fitness, notching four goals and three assists this season.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Late call for Pisa game Gudmundsson (ankle) hasn't completely recovered and will at most be on the bench Monday, La Nazione reported.

Impact Gudmundsson has trained on the side for most of the week and isn't totally pain-free yet, so he risks sitting out another one due to an ankle issue. He'll go through a late fitness test to evaluate whether he's healthy enough to be an option. Jack Harrison and Manor Solomon will likely get the nod in the trident regardless.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Como contest Gudmundsson (ankle) hasn't been called up for Saturday's match versus Como.

Impact Gudmundsson isn't dealing with a particularly serious injury, but will miss this one and also likely the midweek UEFA Conference League game to try to return versus Pisa next Monday. Jack Harrison or Fabiano Parisi, who played as a fullback over Robin Gosens in the previous tilt, will complete the trident alongside Moise Kean and Manor Solomon.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day after exams Gudmundsson has avoided joint-capsule and ligament lesions in his left ankle, Fiorentina announced.

Impact Gudmudsson will rest and rehab and will be re-evaluated closer to Saturday's match versus Como. He could miss some time but avoided long-term issues. Jack Harrison, Robin Gosens and Fabiano Parisi could enjoy an uptick in minutes if he had to skip a game or two.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Bows out early versus Torino Gudmundsson recorded two shots (zero on target) and two chances created before leaving Saturday's game versus Torino at the 48th minute because of a lower leg injury, Gianluca Di M...

Impact Gudmundsson was fairly lively in the first half and made his presence felt on offense, but violently crashed into an opponent right after the second kick-off and had to be helped off the pitch since he was struggling to put weight on his leg. He's poised to undergo the exams ahead of next Saturday's contest versus Como. Jack Harrison substituted for him in this one and delivered an assist.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Underwhelming outing against Napoli Gudmundsson drew one foul and had one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Napoli.

Impact Gudmundsson handled the ball a lot in the midfield but was unable to replicate the good-looking numbers of some of his recent showings. He has posted at least one cross in seven matches on the trot, accumulating 21 (three accurate). Additionally, he has created one or more chances in the last three contests, racking up eight and providing two assists over that span.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Fires four shots versus Cagliari Gudmundsson drew three fouls and registered four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Cagliari.

Impact Gudmundsson had a solid display in the final third, leading his club in attempts and matching his season high in such a stat, but he was unable to contribute to a goal for the fourth consecutive round after scoring once and assisting twice in the previous three. He has posted at least one cross in six straight fixtures, totaling 20 (three accurate) and adding 15 shots (six on target), 11 key passes and five corners in that stretch.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Provides one assist in win Gudmundsson assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Bologna.

Impact Gudmundsson recorded an assist against Bologna on Sunday, delivering a perfectly weighted cross for Rolando Mandragora in the first half. He could have added to the scoreline, posting a season-high three key passes and one cross. The Icelandic midfielder is in good form, registering one goal and two assists across his last three Serie A appearances this season.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up only goal Gudmundsson assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw against AC Milan.

Impact Gudmundsson set up Pietro Comuzzo for the only Fiorentina goal during Sunday's draw. The attacking midfielder was excellent and had some nice volume, though both of his shots were off target. This was expected to be one of the toughest matches on the calendar, so coming away with an assist in the draw is a nice showing.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Converts penalty Gudmundsson scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Lazio.

Impact Gudmundsson won and then converted a spot kick in the 89th minute to give Fiorentina the lead. He also recorded two clearances and a tackle. This was his second goal in the last four games and his best run of form since late October.
