M’Bala Nzola is set to start in the Fiorentina attack against Rapid Wien tonight in a must-win game for the Tuscans.
It’s the second leg of the Conference League play-offs. It kicks off at 19:00 BST at the Stadio Franchi in Florence. Fiorentina suffered a 1-0 loss in Austria last week, so they must win to qualify for the group stage.
Sofyan Amrabat could leave in the last two days of the summer transfer window, so he’s not been included in the squad list for today’s game, while Luka Jovic has not even made Fiorentina’s UEFA list.
The injured Antonin Barak, Gaetano Castrovilli, Jonathan Ikone and Gino Infantino are also not available for the Tuscans.
Nzola is expected to start in attack, while the only doubt for Italiano appears to be on the left wing with Christian Kouamé or Josip Brekalo starting.
Fiorentina collected four points in the opening two Serie A games this season, beating Genoa away and drawing to Lecce at home last week.
