Fiorentina travel to San Siro for Sunday’s 25 October meeting with Inter carrying a 23-man squad and several familiar absences, as Paolo Vanoli prepares his side for a 12:30 kick-off in one of the championship’s most demanding settings.
Key takeaways
- Paolo Vanoli has selected 23 Fiorentina players for the away match against Inter.
- The fixture will be played at San Siro on Sunday 25 October, starting at 12:30.
- Luca Ranieri remains unavailable because of a foot problem.
- Arthur Atta is also absent as he continues to manage an abdominal overload.
- Fabiano Parisi is continuing his recovery from the cruciate ligament injury suffered in May.
Vanoli works with a reduced defensive group
The coach had already outlined the situation in his pre-match press conference, confirming that Ranieri and Atta would not be ready for the trip to Milan. Their continued absence gives Fiorentina another selection problem before facing Inter, with Ranieri sidelined by a foot issue and Atta unable to take part because of a functional abdominal overload.
Parisi is, as expected, not yet available. The defender remains on his rehabilitation programme following the anterior cruciate ligament injury he sustained in May, leaving Vanoli to shape his options without him for another important league afternoon.
Fiorentina’s squad for Inter
The three goalkeepers included are Oliver Christensen, David de Gea and Luca Lezzerini.
In defence, Vanoli has called up Dodo, Radu Dragușin, Viery, Jimenez, João Mário, Marin Pongracic, Valdepeñas and Ademi.
The midfield selection consists of Marco Brescianini, Nicolò Fagioli, Cher Ndour, Oulaï, Pirrò, Pedro Gonçalves and Mastantuono.
Fiorentina’s attacking options are Mazzeo, Wilfried Gnonto, Beto, Njie and Pellegrino, completing the 23-player group for the San Siro appointment.
