DNP in Pisa contest Rugani (calf) didn't feature in Monday's 1-0 win over Pisa.

Impact Rugani was available as expected, but the game didn't break right for him to start seeing minutes after an extended absence.

Fit Monday Rugani (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Pisa.

Impact Rugani was likely to return Monday and is on the bench for the contest, finally fit after around two months out. He has earned a few starts this season, with four in eight appearances throughout the campaign, although he has been unused quite a bit, more of a rotational option.

Could return versus Pisa Rugani (calf) is trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's match against Pisa, Corriere dello Sport informed.

Impact Rugani has been ramping up in training in the last few days and could be called up for the first time since joining Fiorentina and after missing 11 fixtures in a row. He'll compete with Marin Pongracic, Luca Ranieri and Pietro Comuzzo if indeed available.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Out again versus Torino Rugani (calf) wasn't an option in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Torino.

Impact Rugani is reportedly close but will have to wait for at least another week to make his Fiorentina debut. It remains to be seen whether he'll start right away once healthy, as Pietro Comuzzo and Marin Pongracic have been fine even though the backline hasn't been sturdy overall as of late.

Faces late fitness test Rugani (calf) is more doubtful than questionable for Saturday's meeting with Torino, Corriere dello Sport informed.

Impact Rugani has been sidelined since late December because of a calf strain and hasn't returned to full training during the week, but he might still be brought to the bench to support his new teammates. Pietro Comuzzo and Marin Pongracic are once again the frontrunners to play in the middle of the defense.

Unused midweek Rugani (calf) didn't play in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Pafos

Impact Rugani worked his way back from a calf strain that cost him four matches but wasn't deployed right away. He'll look to re-enter the rotation in the coming fixtures, but he has been a deputy and fill-in starter for most of the campaign.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returning versus Pafos Rugani (calf) "will be called up for Wednesday," coach Luciano Spalletti relayed.

Impact Rugani has been a full-go in training since the last Serie A game and will resume providing depth in the defense, where Federico Gatti (knee) will skip multiple matches, while Gleison Bremer (knee) is also coming back in this one. The returns could allow the coach to move Teun Koopmeiners to his more natural role in the midfield. Rugani has been a rotational piece and has featured seven times (four starts), registering five tackles, 11 interceptions and one block, with no clean sheets.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

A couple of them will return before Rugani.

He will continue to be a defensive stalwart, albeit in some more manageable matches, after the break.
