Giuseppe Rossi says he is aiming to return to playing as soon as possible, so as to repay the faith shown in him by Fiorentina.
The Italy international is currently in the United States recovering from a knee injury which has him sidelined for a number of months.
Despite his absence, La Viola have progressed to the Coppa Italia Final this week, and President Andrea Della Valle dedicated that victory to the 27-year-old.

The Italy international is currently in the United States recovering from a knee injury which has him sidelined for a number of months.
Despite his absence, La Viola have progressed to the Coppa Italia Final this week, and President Andrea Della Valle dedicated that victory to the 27-year-old.
“I have been told of the dedication from Della Valle. It brings me so much pleasure,” Rossi has considered in response, to Firenzeviola.it.
“I was thrilled to see the semi-final on television. I spoke with some of the directors on this extraordinary achievement.
“And when I return, which I hope will be as soon as possible, I want to repay all that confidence that Fiorentina have had in me.
“Watching on TV? I suffer too much, that’s the problem. I cannot watch games live. I’m bad, I suffer with my teammates, I suffer with the fans, then I have to follow updates on my phone.
“But the Udinese game was so important that I wanted to feel a part of it.”
Rossi was asked if he has approached recovery from this knee injury in a different way to his previous two, more serious knee injuries.
“No, not in a different way. I am surrounded by the same people in the same institutions, the same physiotherapist, Luke, so it is like déjà vu.
“With patience, hard work and dedication I will return to play.
“Where will you see Giuseppe Rossi come May 3? In the field, at the Olimpico…”
