GAME LOG
Provides assist in draw
Ranieri assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Monza.
Impact
Ranieri notched his first assist of the season as he headed the ball of a corner kick and it managed to land near Moises Kean, who then extended his leg and scored. Defensively he secured two tackles.

ROTOWIRE
Solid in Venezia fixture
Ranieri won one of one tackle and had three clearances and one block in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Venezia.
Impact
Ranieri anchored the defensive line considering Marin Pongracic's suspension and more than held his own as his side shut down the opponents. The two will likely feature together going forward, but Fiorentina might add more options.

ROTOWIRE
Serves disqualification
Ranieri completed a one-game ban in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Parma.
Impact
Ranieri will be eligible to play against Venezia next Sunday and most likely start since Marin Pongracic was red-carded in this one and Fiorentina don't have many center-backs in their squad at this moment. He tallied 29 interceptions, 63 clearances and 14 tackles in 26 games in 2023/2024.

ROTOWIRE
Will miss opener
Ranieri generated two tackles (one won), one clearance and one interception and picked up his 15th domestic yellow card in Sunday's 3-2 win against Atalanta.
Impact
Ranieri got the nod over Nikola Milenkovic but didn't have a noteworthy performance, and his side allowed two goals. He has been booked 14 times in Serie A and once in the Supercoppa, which will force him to sit out next season's opener due to yellow-card accumulation.

Assist and clean sheet
Ranieri assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Salernitana. In addition, he was given a yellow c...
Impact
Ranieri recorded his first assist of the season Sunday as he set up Christian Kouame's header in the 80th minute to take the 1-0 lead. He also helped his side keep a clean sheet as he intercepted one pass and made three clearances in his full 90 minutes of action. The only downside to his performance is that he picked up a yellow card early in the second half, his 13th booking of the season.

Scores against Roma
Ranieri scored a goal off his lone shot, created one chance and made six clearances during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Roma.
Impact
Ranieri was at the right place to head the ball home and open the scoring for Fiorentina in the 18th minute and also had a great defensive performance, pacing his side in clearances. With 12 clearances over his last three starts, the center-back is enjoying a great campaign in his second year with Fiorentina, finally consolidating himself as a full-time starter.

ROTOWIRE
Busy at both ends against Lazio
Ranieri generated four shots (one on goal), two interceptions, four clearances and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 win over Lazio.
Impact
Ranieri benefitted from Lucas Martinez Quarta (illness) being out to notch another start and was a menace on set pieces, hitting the post on his best attempt. He has logged five interceptions, 15 clearances and five crosses (one accurate) in his last five showings, with no clean sheets.

ROTOWIRE
Clears suspension
Ranieri completed a one-game ban in Sunday's 5-1 win over Frosinone.
Impact
Ranieri is set to return to the XI against Bologna midweek since Lucas Martinez Quarta will be unavailable for the make-up game. He has notched three tackles (two won), 10 clearances and two interceptions in his last three games, with no clean sheets.

ROTOWIRE
Will miss Frosinone game
Ranieri had two interceptions, two clearances, and one block and picked up his tenth yellow card in Friday's 2-3 loss to Cagliari.
Impact
Ranieri didn't have a great showing and will miss his second game of the season due to yellow-card accumulation. Nikola Milenkovic and Lucas Martinez Quarta will team up in the back.

ROTOWIRE
Scores against Torino
Ranieri scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three interceptions, and three clearances in Friday's 1-0 victory versus Torino.
Impact
Ranieri decided the game late with a quality header after lingering in the box following a set piece. He got another start as Lucas Martinez Quarta wasn't 100 percent after dealing with the flu. He has been in the XI in five straight games despite technically being the third option in the back. He has recorded eight interceptions, 11 clearances, and two blocks during the recent run, contributing to three clean sheets.

Logs four clearances in Monza game
Ranieri registered one block, four clearances, and two interceptions in Friday's 1-0 victory over Monza.
Impact
Ranieri stepped in while Lucas Martinez Quarta was dealing with the flu and had a decent showing, helping his club avoid conceding. He has started in four straight tilts, tallying five tackles, eight clearances, and two blocks, with two clean sheets.

ROTOWIRE
Clears ban
Ranieri completed a one-game suspension in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Milan.
Impact
Ranieri had to miss one due to yellow-card accumulation. He'll resume providing depth in multiple defensive roles. He has started just once in the last two months, posting one inaccurate cross, two tackles, two interceptions, and three clearances in four appearances.

ROTOWIRE
Will miss Milan clash
Ranieri won one tackle and had one clearance and one block and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 2-1 win over Bologna.
Impact
Ranieri was okay coming off the bench to bolster the defense but will have to miss one game due to yellow-card accumulation. Yerry Mina and Pietro Comuzzo will provide depth in the back behind the starters.

ROTOWIRE
Posts two clearances against Sassuolo
Ranieri created one scoring chance and had one interception, two clearances, and one block in Round 38's 3-1 win over Sassuolo.
Impact
Ranieri got the nod as the gaffer rested a few starters in this one. He was the fourth option in the back but starred in some big games. He logged nine tackles, 11 interceptions, 15 clearances, and three blocks in nine appearances (five starts).

ROTOWIRE
Active defensively versus Lazio
Ranieri made four tackles (two won), three clearances and two interceptions during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Lazio.
Impact
Ranieri had just his second start of the season and made most of the opportunity, racking up some nice numbers, probably the best stat line among all Fiorentina defenders. The center-back left the pitch in the 86th minute as part of a double substitution but his time on the pitch was enough for him to show he'll be ready to contribute if given playing time.

ROTOWIRE
Unused versus Inter
Ranieri (undiclosed) didn't play in Saturday's 3-4 loss to Inter.
Impact
Ranieri returned to the squad list, but he needs two among Nikola Milenkovic, Igor, and Lucas Martinez Quarta to be out to play. He has posted three interceptions, four clearances and one chance created in his lone appearance.

ROTOWIRE
Good to go for Inter game
Ranieri (undisclosed) has been called up for Saturday's clash with Inter.
Impact
Ranieri missed one bout for an unspecified minor problem. He's the fourth option in the back, and he's unlikely to get meaningful minutes unless something happens to the other defenders.
OCTOBER 21, 2022

ROTOWIRE
Unavailable for Lecce game
Ranieri wasn't included in Fiorentina's squad list to face Lecce Monday.
Impact
Ranieri picked up an unspecified injury in practice and won't travel with the team for this one. He's generally the fourth option as far as center-backs are concerned, and the top three are available.
OCTOBER 16, 2022

ROTOWIRE
Not bought out by Salernitana
Ranieri will return to Fiorentina as Salernitana did not pick up their option to buy him out.
Impact
Ranieri had a solid campaign, but the club deemed the fee to be too expensive. He will be a candidate to back up Cristiano Biraghi in Florence. He tallied one goal, 11 chances, 66 crosses (15 accurate) and 38 tackles in 27 appearances in 2021/2022.
JUNE 25, 2022

ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Udinese match
Ranieri (calf) will not return in Sunday's season finale against Udinese, Salernitana announced.
Impact
Ranieri will miss his fifth game in a row due to a calf strain. He has been solid while on loan from Fiorentina, tallying one goal, 66 crosses (15 accurate), 38 tackles and 59 tackles in 27 appearances (25 starts). Joel Obi, Matteo Ruggeri and Nadir Zortea have alternated on the left flank while he has been out.

ROTOWIRE
Might not return this season
Ranieri has been diagnosed with a thigh strain and is unlikely to be back for one of the remaining fixtures, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
Impact
Ranieri picked up the injury earlier this week and faces an uphill climb to be back in time for the final match, which will take place in just over two weeks. Matteo Ruggeri, Nadir Zortea and Joel Obi will pick up the slack in his roles.

ROTOWIRE
Will stay out for Venezia game
Ranieri (undisclosed) will remain unavailable for Thursday's match versus Venezia, coach Davide Nicola informed.
Impact
Ranieri will sit out the second game in a row because of an unspecified muscular problem. Matteo Ruggeri filled in for him in the back over the weekend, while Riccardo Gagliolo and Radu Dragusin came off the bench late in the game.
MAY 4, 2022

ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Atalanta match
Ranier has not been called up for Monday's game versus Atalanta, Salernitana informed.
Impact
Ranieri reportedly picked up a late muscular issue that will be further assessed shortly. Riccardo Gagliolo, Radu Dragusin and Matteo Ruggeri are the top candidates to replace him in the back.
MAY 1, 2022

ROTOWIRE
Well-rounded against Milan
Ranieri took one shot on target, sent in one accurate cross, won two of three tackles and had four clearances in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Milan.
Impact
Ranieri did not look great in certain defensive reads, especially the early goal, but his energy again allowed him to pick up stats at both ends. He has notched 11 chances, 60 crosses, 37 tackles and 40 clearances in 21 matches thus far. Salernitana will face Bologna at home Saturday.
FEBRUARY 20, 2022

ROTOWIRE
Plays well on both ends
Ranieri had five crosses, three interceptions, two tackles and was fouled once in the 1-1 draw with Genoa on Sunday.
Impact
When a player understands their role, they can help their squad find success. Ranieri is an aggressive crosser, and a pugnacious defender. Both of these things will be vital in the next match against Milan.
