Silent versus Lecce Sottil (thigh) created one scoring chance, had one inaccurate cross, and drew two fouls in Friday's 2-3 loss to Lecce.

Impact Sottil got the start after getting cleared from a small injury primarily because Nicolas Gonzalez wasn't 100 percent, but he didn't exploit the opportunity. He hasn't contributed to a goal in his past five appearances (two starts), logging three shots (zero on target), two chances crated, and five crosses (one accurate).

Starting Friday Sottil (thigh) is in the starting XI for Friday's contest against Lecce.

Impact Sottil is back with the team after three matches on the sideline, having finally healed from his thigh issue. It is a bit of a surprise to see him starting in his return, as the attacker has served as more of a rotational player this season. He has only started five times all season, so he will hope to remain in this position moving forward.

Called up for Lecce game Sottil has been named in Fiorentina's squad list to face Lecce on Friday.

Unused in Udinese game Sottil (thigh) didn't feature in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Udinese.

Returning sooner than anticipated Sottil (thigh) "re-joined his teammates in training in the last two days and has recovered," coach Vincenzo Italiano announced.

Impact Sottil will miss just one match due to a thigh problem, and his availability might allow the gaffer to go back to their usual scheme after tweaking it last week due to a shortage of wingers. Josip Brekalo would likely start over a center-back if that were the case. He has scored and assisted once in his last five appearances, logging six shots (one on target), three chances created, and eight crosses (two accurate).

Gino Infantino, Giacomo Bonaventura, and Lucas Beltran could adapt to the role if need be.
