Fiorentina, concern over Dodô: he pulls up after a sprint during a training session open to fans; his condition

The winger was immediately attended to by the medical staff and left the pitch under his own steam, visibly annoyed by the injury, which, according to initial reports, appears to have affected his right hamstring.

The relevant medical tests, expected to take place early next week, will determine the extent of the injury and the recovery timeframe, with an eye on the match away at Verona on Saturday 4 April and the Conference League tie in London against Crystal Palace on Thursday 9 April for the first leg of the quarter-finals. The hope is that it is merely a niggle and not something more serious.

Dodò has made 29 league appearances and scored one goal, plus one in the Conference League during the August play-offs against Polissya in the second leg. He has also provided three assists. At the end of the season, it will be time to discuss the renewal of his contract, which expires in 2027 and is back on the table following the previous deadlock prior to Paratici’s arrival as sporting director.
