Andrea Belotti starts on an emotional night for Fiorentina against Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud of Milan, but Nico Gonzalez is only fit for the bench.

It kicks off at the Stadio Franchi at 19.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

The Viola’s Week 29 match with Atalanta was called off when director Joe Barone collapsed in the team hotel with a heart attack just as they were preparing to travel to the stadium.

He died in hospital a couple of days later and a minute’s silence will be held before all Serie A games this weekend, with an emotional tribute planned at the Stadio Franchi.

As for the match, Nico Gonzalez and Lucas Beltran are not at 100 per cent after international duty, so Jonathan Ikone and Belotti start.

Giacomo Bonaventura is suspended against his former club and Dodo gets his first start since knee surgery.

Milan also have to reshuffle, because Theo Hernandez sits out a ban, with injured Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer and Tommaso Pobega.

Alessandro Florenzi fills in at left-back, with the usual attack of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leao and Giroud.

However, Samuel Chukwueze replaces Christian Pulisic, who is rested after international duty with the USMNT.

Fiorentina: Terracciano; Dodo, Milenkovic, Martinez Quarta, Biraghi; Mandragora, Duncan; Ikoné, Beltran, Kouame; Belotti

Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Florenzi; Bennacer, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud
