Fiorentina start Arthur Cabral against his former club FC Basel in the Europa Conference League semi-final, with Pietro Terracciano shaking off flu symptoms.
It kicks off at the Stadio Franchi at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).
The Viola won nine consecutive Conference League matches until the 3-2 home defeat to Lech Poznan, but qualified anyway thanks to a 4-1 first leg victory in that quarter-final.
They have also booked their spot in the Coppa Italia Final against Inter on May 24.
Nikola Milenkovic is suspended, with Riccardo Sottil and Salvatore Sirigu injured, though Terracciano can take the gloves after recovering from flu symptoms.
Cabral is the tournament’s top scorer and starts against his old club with Nico Gonzalez and Jonathan Ikone.
Basel eliminated OGC Nice in the quarter-finals with a late equaliser and then clinching it in extra time.
Ex-Roma defender Riccardo Calafiori starts, having been rested at the weekend against FC Zurich, but Jonas Adjetey, Sergio Lopez, Adriano Onyegbule, Fabian Frei and Kaly Sene are injured.
Zeki Amdouni and Andi Zeqiri have five goals each in the competition this season, as Basel have done considerably better in the Conference League than domestically this season, but the latter is surprisingly only on the bench.
Fiorentina: Terracciano; Dodo, Martinez-Quarta, Ranieri, Biraghi; Amrabat, Mandragora; Ikoné, Bonaventura, Gonzalez; Cabral
FC Basel: Hitz; M Lang, Nuhu, Pelmard; Ndoye, Diouf, Xhaka, Burger, Calafiori; Amdouni, Augustin
