Fiorentina forced to miss Gudmundsson and Rugani in Como
Albert Gudmundsson and January signing Daniele Rugani are out of the Fiorentina squad for Saturday’s Serie A match against Como.
It kicks off at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Saturday at 14.00 GMT (15.00 CET).
The Viola have been without Tariq Lamptey for some time and that will drag on for much of the season after surgery on a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
Fiorentina lose Gudmundsson to injury
Gudmundsson had to be carried off the field with a sprained left ankle during last week’s 2-2 draw with Torino.
Although there were some encouraging signs in training, medical staff decided not to risk doing further damage, so the Iceland international is not making the trip to Como.
Also left out is former Juventus defender Rugani, who joined on deadline day already carrying a calf strain, so is yet to make his debut for Fiorentina.
His last appearance was in Juve’s 2-1 win over Roma on December 20.
Moise Kean should therefore be flanked by a pair of January signings, Jack Harrison and Manor Solomon.
