Gli esami strumentali e le visite specialistiche cui Fabio Borini si è sottoposto all’indomani di Brescia-Hellas Verona, partita nella quale l’attaccante bolognese ha dovuto dare forfait per infortunio al 34’ del primo tempo, hanno evidenziato un risentimento muscolare al bicipite femorale della coscia destra.

I tempi di recupero non sono al momento quantificabili.

Five things you need to know about Fiorentina v Cagliari

Fiorentina take on Cagliari in Week 31 of Serie A 2019/20 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Wednesday evening – and we’ve prepared this collection of five key stats and facts you need to know before kick-off…
1)    Fiorentina and Cagliari have faced off in Florence 40 times in total. Thirty-eight of those games have come in Serie (26 wins, seven draws and five defeats for the Viola), one took place in Serie B (a 2-1 win for Fiorentina on 18 January 2004) and one was a Coppa Italia matches (a 0-1 defeat for the Gigliati on 12 September 1971). Fiorentina have scored 69 goals to Cagliari’s 29 at home against the Sardinian outfit.
2)    The first meeting between Fiorentina and Cagliari in Florence took place at the “Stadio Comunale di Firenze” on 29 November 1964 and ended in a 2-0 win for the Viola, courtesy of goals from Alberto Orlando and Kurt Hamrin. Orlando ended the 1963/64 as joint top scored in Serie A on 17 goals, level with Inter’s Sandro Mazzola. Coincidentally, Orlando also scored in the return fixture in Cagliari, which took place on 11 April 1965 and ended in a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, Hamrin went on to score the decisive goals in two subsequent Fiorentina v Cagliari matches: he bagged a brace in the Viola’s 2-0 win on 6 February 1966 and scored the only goal of the 1-0 win on 5 March 1967.
3)    Fiorentina’s 3-0 home win over Cagliari on 18 March 1973, part of Week 22 of the 1972/73 Serie A season, was special in that it witnessed Giancarlo Antognoni’s first goal in Serie A. With the Viola already 2-0 to the good after goals from Nevio Scala and Nello Saltutti, on 89 minutes Sergio Clerici burst forward through the midfield and slipped in the young No.7, who promptly dispatched a fine right-footed effort on the half volley in front of the Curva Fiesole. Antognoni actually made his debut away at Verona on 15 October 1972 wearing the No.8 jersey, but the presence of Claudio Merlo and Giancarlo De Sisti in the regular starting line-up meant Antognoni made the majority of his 20 appearances that season with the No.7 on his back. The future Fiorentina captain followed up his goal against Cagliari with another strike, against Parma, in Week 26. This time, it was a free-kick in front of the Ferrovia.
4)    Fiorentina’s 4-2 home win over Cagliari on 17 January 1999 (Gabriel Omar Batistuta hat-trick and a goal from Edmundo) coincides with the last time the Viola were top of Serie A at the halfway point. Sadly, the Viola were unable to sustain their title challenge as the season wore on. It was the same story on 17 January 1982, when Fiorentina and Cagliari drew 1-1 (Luigi Sacchetti and Luigi Piras with the goals) in the final match of the first round of fixtures. The result meant Fiorentina were top at the halfway point, one point ahead of Juventus, but – alas – there was no Scudetto title for Florence come the end of the campaign.

5)    The most recent Fiorentina v Cagliari match took place on 21 October 2018 as part of Week 9 of the 2018/19 season of Serie A and finished in a 1-1 draw courtesy of a Jordan Veretout penalty and a goal from Leonardo Pavoletti. Fiorentina’s last home win over Cagliari took place on 12 March 2017 in Week 28 of Serie A 2016/17, when Nikola Kalinic scored a late winner. Cagliari’s last win at Fiorentina was on 13 May 2018 (in Week 37 of Serie A 2017/18), with Pavoletti again the man on the scoresheet. Finally, the last meeting between Cagliari and Fiorentina, including both home and away games, took place on 10 November 2019 and ended in a 5-2 defeat for the Viola: Marko Rog, Fabio Pisacane, Giovanni Simeone, Joao Pedro and Radja Nainggolan, while Dusan Vlahovic scored his first Serie A goals with a late consolation brace for Fiorentina.

Iachini: "We showed personality and created chances"

Beppe Iachini was full of praise for his Fiorentina side’s approach after they beat Parma 2-1 at the Stadio Ennio Tardini to secure a much-needed three points on Sunday evening.

“We came here with belief and tried to play our game,” said the Viola coach in his post-match press conference. “The team played very well, showed great personality and created chances. We could have put the game to bed earlier because we had four or five chances to kill it off in the second half, including a crossbar. We should have got the third goal and put the match to bed.”

Iachini acknowledged that it was vital for his team to get a result in Parma following a disappointing run in recent weeks.
“Of course it’s important and I’m pleased for the players, our fans and for the club,” he said. “In the first three games after the restart we had 44 shots, hit the woodwork four times, had 33 shots from inside the penalty box and we weren’t able to put the games to bed. We played very well both against Brescia and Lazio and against Sassuolo we had chances to take the lead before the penalty. Those matches got away from us – despite creating lots of chances, we weren’t able to make them count. We weren’t getting what we deserved based on the work the lads were doing.”
Franck Ribery and Marco Benassi were both taken off with injuries at the Tardini – and Iachini was keen to stress the importance of all members of the squad as the matches stack up for his team.
“We’ll see,” he said. “We’re playing every three days so all of the players are in my thinking. I expect a lot from them all and I’ve told them that. Whoever is called on must step up and perform well and implement the work I’ve been doing with them since I arrived. We’ll need everyone.”

ACF Fiorentina statement

Rocco Commisso spoke with Franck Ribery on the phone on Monday after Ribery’s house was burgled while the team was in Parma on Sunday night.

Commisso has also issued a statement on the matter.
“I’m very disappointed with and shocked by what happened to Franck Ribery on Sunday night,” said the president. “We’d all like to send all our support to Franck and his wonderful family. Aside from the financial loss, these events are very traumatic for the victims because you may lose personal items of sentimental value that nothing can replace. More importantly, you lose the sense of security we should all feel when we leave our families – our wives, our children – at home.
“We’ll do everything we can to help Franck feel safe again and help him through this difficult time. I’m sure that the Fiorentina family will show solidarity with Franck by making him feel the love we all have for him.”

Commisso on win over Parma

Rocco Commisso has given his reaction to Fiorentina’s 2-1 win over Parma on Sunday evening.

“It was a very hard-fought game – nobody wanted to give in,” said the Fiorentina president. “The lads fought from the first minute to the last against a very respectable opponent. This is a very valuable victory and one we’ve been waiting for for too long – it’s a win that the staff, the coach, the players and all the Viola fans deserve. This match shows how united and together this group is. The only negatives are the injuries to [Marco] Benassi and [Franck] Ribery, but we hope they’re nothing serious. Now let’s switch our attention to the Cagliari game on Wednesday. The away game earlier in the season was one of our worst performances, so I’m hoping to see a completely different attitude this time around.”
