Fiorentina resumes preparations for the championship match against Sassuolo, scheduled for Monday at 6.30pm at the Mapei Stadium. Coach Vincenzo Vanoli has called the team together for a crucial week of work, with the aim of evaluating the physical conditions of the players and defining the composition of the group for the next match.
Among the points of attention, Alessandro Ranieri's health is at the center of attention. The defender, born in 1999, has been forced to stay on the sidelines for the last few weeks due to a pinched nerve in his foot. According to the Republic of Florence, there is "timid optimism" that Ranieri could return to the pitch for the match against Sassuolo, although his availability remains uncertain. The coach expressed the hope of being able to include him at least among the squad, but underlined that the final decision will depend on the results of the last week of training.
Other key players are under observation. Midfielder Atta is still recovering, while defender Pongracic will only be available after the international break. Vanoli also indicated that Ranieri's situation will be monitored carefully, with the aim of having the defender ready for the away match.
Meanwhile, the coach expressed a bolder hope for midfielder Atta, who could be recovered at least for a short period of play in the next match against Juventus, scheduled for Sunday. This perspective, if realized, would represent added value for the team, but will require intense work in the coming days.
In summary, Fiorentina is preparing with caution for the match against Sassuolo, focusing on Ranieri's recovery and the possible reinstatement of Atta. The final result will depend on the physical conditions of the players and the decisions of the coach in the next few days of training.
