Rolando Mandragora - Unavailable versus Napoli Mandragora had one shot on target, one cross, two corners and three clearnaces and was cautioned for the fifth time in the season in Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Mandragora did his part in both phases but won't be an option against Napoli on Sunday. If Yacine Adli (ankle) doesn't return, Nicolo Fagioli, Cher Ndour and Amir Richardson will absorb his minutes.

Amir Richardson - Serves disqualification Richardson completed a one-game ban in Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Richardson will return versus Napoli and will reprise being a rotational piece in the midfield, competing primarily with Cher Ndour, Nicolo Fagioli and Rolando Mandragora. He has started twice in his last six showings, notching one shot on target, five tackles (three won), two interceptions and 13 clearances.

Marin Pongracic - Busy defensively in win Pongracic made two tackles (both won), five clearances and one interception and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Pongracic started for the fifth time over the last seven games and did a nice work alongside Pablo Mari at the heart of the defense. With 34 clearances over his last six appearances, the center-back is doing his part to remain a starter even with Pietro Comuzzo and Luca Ranieri being a strong competition for a spot.

Pablo Mari - Shines in first Fiorentina start Mari made 13 clearances and helped his team to keep a clean sheet during Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Mari made his first start since joining Fiorentina and proved he's fully recovered from the thigh injury he sustained before the transfer by simply dominating opposing forwards and having a season high in clearances. If there were any doubts about Mari's status in his new team, this performance more than cements him as a starter for upcoming games.

Lucas Beltran - Misses PK on Friday Beltran had three off-target shots, created two chances, missed a penalty and was shown a yellow card during Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Beltran was a little bit better here than he's been lately but the highlight from his performance was still a negative one as he missed a penalty that could've given his team some insurance in the 72nd minute. That's now six consecutive scoreless starts for the striker, who has just four goals over 23 appearances this season.

David De Gea - Keeps clean sheet in win De Gea made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact De Gea made a solid job when called into action but this time he was also largely helped by the opposition's lack of accuracy in front of the net. With eight clean sheets and just 25 goals allowed over 24 league starts, the goalkeeper has been amazing in his return campaign after staying a full season away from the game.

Dodo - Assists winner on Friday Dodo delivered an assist, had one off-target shot, created two chances and sent in six crosses (two accurate) during Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Dodo bounced back from a pair of quiet outings and needed just nine minutes to make an impact here as he assisted Robin Gosens' game-winner with a perfect cross from the right flank. This was the third assist of the season for the full-back, with all of them coming over the last seven appearances.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Gosens - Scores winner in return Gosens scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in five crosses (one accurate) during Friday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Gosens returned to the team after serving a one-match ban and ended up as the hero for Fiorentina. In the 9th minute, the full-back headed home a cross from the right to score the lone goal of the match and give his team some precious three points in the fight to qualify for European competition. This was Gosens' first goal since October and he'll hope this is the start of better things to come.

Albert Gudmundsson - Called up for Lecce game Gudmundsson (back) has been named in Fiorentina's squad list to face Lecce on Friday.

Impact Gudmundsson has recovered a lot more quickly than expected from a coccyx fracture, sitting out just one game. He had been managed due to a different problem in recent weeks, but he'll have a key role if called upon due to the absences of Moise Kean (head) and Micheal Folorunsho (thigh). He has scored once and posted seven shots (three on target), four key passes and two crosses (zero accurate) in his last five displays.

FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Folorunsho - In doubt for Lecce game Folorunsho is questionable for Friday's match versus Lecce due to a thigh contusion, coach Raffaele Palladino informed.

Impact Folorunsho got hit on the muscle in consecutive matches and has been limited by the discomfort in training. He could be held out Friday to recover. Fabiano Parisi and Robin Gosens could play together on the wing since Fiorentina are very depleted.

Moise Kean - Will miss Lecce tilt Kean (head) is currently resting waiting to be cleared for practice, coach Raffaele Palladino announced.

Impact Kean is in the early stages of the concussion protocol and won't be available Friday. If he has no setbacks, he'll be back either in the Conference League or versus Napoli next week. Lucas Beltran or Nicolo Zaniolo will lead the line against Lecce.

Amir Richardson - Suspended for Lecce match Richardson drew one foul, had one clearance and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Verona.

Impact Richardson didn't produce in his cameo and will have to sit the next game due to yellow-card accumulation. He's usually the fourth or fifth option in the midfield behind Yacine Adli (ankle), Danilo Cataldi, Rolando Mandragora and Nicolo Fagioli. Cher Ndour is also an option.

FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Moise Kean - Discharged from the hospital Kean is headed back to Florence after all the tests run at a local clinic returned negative, Fiorentina announced.

Impact Kean is in better shape and appears to have avoided a concussion. He might have been more affected by the blood loss than by the blow. His availability for Friday's game versus Lecce will be determined later in the week.

Fiorentina striker Moise Kean collapses during Serie A match

Fiorentina striker Moise Kean has been diagnosed with a head injury after collapsing on the field during a Serie A match

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Impact Beltran was tasked with substituting for Albert Gudmundsson (back) and spearheaded the attack after Moise Kean (head) subbed off but didn't manage to get anything going up front. He hasn't had any goal contribution in the last five matches, posting just four chances created, four tackles (one won) and four clearances.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Fires two shots in Verona match Zaniolo drew four fouls and had two shots (one on goal), one tackle (zero won) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Verona.

Impact Zaniolo was often the main engine on the offense while contributing to replacing Albert Gudmundsson (back) and Andrea Colpani (ankle) but wasn't too effective in the thick of it. He has totaled five shots (two on target), two chances created and two crosses (zero accurate) in three matches with Fiorentina.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fabiano Parisi - Decent against Verona Parisi registered two crosses (zero accurate), four interceptions, one block and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Verona.

Impact Parisi did his part on both ends while replacing the suspended Robin Gosens. He has notched five crosses (three accurate), four interceptions, three tackles (one won) and three clearances in the last five fixtures (two starts).

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pietro Comuzzo - Fills it up in Verona contest Comuzzo had one shot (zero on goal), five interceptions and seven clearances in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Verona.

Impact Comuzzo was back in the XI over Marin Pogracic and was commanding throughout the game, but his last-ditch effort wasn't enough to avoid a late goal and secure the clean sheet. He has registered three tackles (two won), six interceptions, 29 clearances and one block in his last five showings (three starts).

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Folorunsho - Serviceable in Verona match Folorunsho drew three fouls and recorded one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Verona.

Impact Folorunsho was one of the few bright spots on his offense in a paltry collective performance for his side. He paced it in two stats. He has posted five shots (two on target), three key passes, 14 crosses (three accurate) and 11 tackles (nine won) in his last five appearances. His appearance and the fact that Fiorentina are dealing with a few injuries will keep him busy.
