Paolo Vanoli will once again have his star striker at his disposal. The Fiorentina manager had said as much: the aim of the recent training sessions was to have Moise Kean available for the match against Cremonese, a crucial relegation battle. And the Italian centre-forward has been included in the official squad list released by the club. 

It now remains to be seen how he is doing, whether he will start the match or whether he will only be available from the bench.

  • A shin injury

    The good news that Fiorentina fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. Kean has recovered from the shin injury that forced him to pull out of the match against Udinese on 2 March and is officially back in Vanoli’s squad for the game against Cremonese.

  • Will Kean start the match?

    Despite the certainty of his recovery and his inclusion in the squad, however, it has not yet been decided whether Kean will start against the Grigiorossi or whether he will initially take his place on the bench, ready to make a contribution later in the match. Vanoli will be called upon to make a final decision by tomorrow morning, but the chances of him starting are not high.

  • THE ALTERNATIVES: WHO WILL PLAY IF KEAN DOESN'T?

    If Kean fails to provide the necessary assurances to start the match, then – just as happened in the Conference League, in the first leg of the round of 16 against Rakov – Roberto Piccoli will once again take his place as the starting centre-forward.
