Fiorentina coach Paolo Vanoli has announced that striker Moise Kean will miss the upcoming UEFA Conference League clash against English side Crystal Palace. Kean's exclusion stems from an ongoing shinbone injury, which will prevent him from joining the team for their trip to London.

Vanoli clarified that the striker's condition still requires close monitoring before he can return to action. The Fiorentina coach stated, "We spoke this morning, and he told me he still feels pain. We are trying to manage the situation to prepare him for the team's next match against Lazio." The coaching staff holds high hopes for Kean's return in upcoming domestic fixtures, despite his current difficult situation in continental competitions.

Pressure is mounting on the Italian team's starting lineup due to an expanding injury list, which also includes Barisi, Solomon, Fortini, Brescianini, and Rugani. However, expectations suggest that defender Marin Pongracic might be available for the anticipated encounter. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace coach Glanser is closely monitoring his opponents' movements, having attended Fiorentina's recent match in Verona.

Coach Paolo Vanoli emphasized the strength of their English opponents, describing them as the favorites to win the current continental title. He remarked, "They are the favorites to win, just as Chelsea were a year ago, but we are also here to take on the challenge." Vanoli believes this match will be a true test of the team's development and will help them define their goals by playing with strong character and complete composure.
