ACF Fiorentina has confirmed that Moise Kean will not be available for the important Serie A clash against AS Roma, scheduled for Monday. The striker's absence, due to family matters and a persistent fibula issue, leaves the Viola club in a full-blown emergency, lacking natural strikers for the crucial match.

The game will kick off at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, May 4, at 19:45 UK time (20:45 CEST). Fiorentina, who have not yet mathematically guaranteed their Serie A safety, go into this "big match" amidst a severe injury crisis that is severely testing the squad.

The Viola club released an official statement specifying that Kean will be granted leave from May 1 to May 4 to deal with a family matter. However, the striker was already a major doubt due to that recurring fibula issue that has plagued him for months, making his presence on the field improbable regardless.

This dual reason for Moise Kean's absence further complicates ACF Fiorentina's tactical plans. Without their main striker, the team will have to find alternative solutions for the attacking department, a challenging task against a solid team like AS Roma.

At the end of his leave period, Moise Kean will return to Florence, to the Viola Park training ground, to resume training and assess his physical condition. The club hopes to recover him as soon as possible for the remaining league matches, which are fundamental for their Serie A survival.
