There are numerous reports this will be Iachini’s last game on the Viola bench regardless of the result, as Cesare Prandelli is ready to step in.

He has to completely revamp his defence, as German Pezzella is injured and Lucas Martinez Quarta suspended following last week’s red card, so Igor steps in.

Jose Callejon is ruled out after contracting COVID-19, so Kouame gets the nod ahead of Dusan Vlahovic and Patrick Cutrone as partner to veteran Ribery.

Parma’s confidence has been bolstered recently by the return of several players from their COVID-19 outbreak, including Bruno Alves and Roberto Inglese.

Andreas Cornelius and Vincent Laurini are still out of action, but Fabio Liverani sticks with the 3-5-2 formation that worked so well in the 2-2 draw with Inter.

Venezuela international Yordan Osorio gets his first start in defence.

Parma: Sepe; Osorio, Bruno Alves, Gagliolo; Grassi, Kucka, Hernani, Kurtic, Pezzella; Inglese, Gervinho

Fiorentina: Dragowski; Milenkovic, Caceres, Igor; Venuti, Amrabat, Pulgar, Castrovilli, Biraghi; Ribery, Kouame
