The Viola got off to a disappointing start this season thanks to their 2-0 defeat away to Roma and the serious injury that ruled Giuseppe Rossi out for five months.
Cuadrado is back from suspension and makes his first competitive outing for the club since May, having resisted interest from Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
Micah Richards is on the bench and hoping for his Serie A debut after the transfer from Manchester City, but Marko Marin is on the treatment table.
Genoa boast several ex-Fiorentina players, including defender Roncaglia and striker Alessandro Matri, although the forward is only fit enough for the bench due to a pre-season injury.
Luca Antonini and Ioannis Fetfatzidis are unavailable, but another World Cup striker Mauricio Pinilla leads the attack.
The Grifone are eager to make up for their Week 1 defeat to Napoli, decided with the last kick of the game.
Fiorentina: Neto; Tomovic, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Savic, Alonso; Aquilani, Pizarro, Borja Valero; Cuadrado, Gomez, Babacar
Genoa: Perin; Antonelli, Burdisso, De Maio, Roncaglia; Edenilson, Bertolacci, Sturaro; Perotti, Pinilla, Kucka
