Vincenzo Montella’s men are in dire need of a boost after two consecutive 3-0 defeats to Juventus in the Coppa Italia and Napoli in Serie A.

The Coach confirmed it was a “psychological” issue rather than a physical one and hopes this trip to Kiev can spark a fightback.

He’ll have to do without suspended Jose Maria Basanta, while both goalkeepers Norberto Neto and Ciprian Tatarusanu are carrying injuries.

Mario Gomez leads the way with Mohamed Salah and Joaquin, while David Pizarro is not even on the bench due to a last-minute injury.

Fiorentina are unbeaten in 11 European away fixtures and have shown some of their best football in this tournament.

Dynamo Kiev are hugely impressive and the most prolific team left in the Europa League, having crushed Everton in the last round.

Makarenko and Miguel Veloso miss out due to Achilles tendon problems.

Dynamo Kiev: Shovkovskiy; Danilo Silva, Antunes, Dragovic, Khacheridi, Sydorchuk, Rybalka, Buyalskiy, Lens, Yarmolenko, Teodorczyk

Dynamo Kiev bench: Rybka, Vida, Gusev, Chumak, Belhanda, Kravets, Mbokan

Fiorentina: Neto; Tomovic, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Savic, Alonso; Badelj, Mati Fernandez, Borja Valero; Joaquin, Gomez, Salah

Fiorentina bench: Tatarusanu, Richards, Vargas, Aquilani, Ilicic,  Pasqual, Babcar
