Fiorentina Confirm Ankle Sprain for Gudmundsson, Napoli Availability in Doubt

He began rehabilitation under club supervision following a mutually agreed return from Iceland duty.

Overview

  • Club tests identified a stress to the anterior talofibular ligament with no fractures or lesions.
  • Gudmundsson has started a therapeutic-rehabilitative program at Viola Park and will be reassessed in the coming days for Saturday’s match against Napoli.
  • The ankle problem occurred in Iceland’s qualifier against Azerbaijan after he scored, leading to his substitution.
  • Local reporting indicates any involvement against Napoli would likely be limited to a spot on the bench to avoid risks.
  • The Iceland federation agreed to his return for treatment, and Stefano Pioli is weighing alternatives such as Piccoli, Dzeko and the surprise option Fazzini.
