Moise Kean doubtful for Venezia after injury against Real Betis

Today will be the right day to find out the real conditions of Moise Kean, who came out of the Conference League match against Real Betis in a bad way. For the Viola striker, who was on the pitch for 120 minutes, the final lunge in his desperate search for the ball was fatal. At the end of which he felt his thigh tingle, a symptom that something negative had certainly happened. Doctor Pengue and his staff will ascertain this this morning, once the classic 24 hours have passed since his last competitive match. Feelings? It's hard to say without knowing even if in the immediate post-match on Thursday Kean seemed quite worried about his condition in the locker room: a more serious ailment than usual could in fact jeopardize the end of the season for the striker, who in the meantime risks having to miss the match the day after tomorrow in Venice. A big problem, given Zaniolo's suspension and Gudmundsson's 95 minutes in the Conference.

The most immediate solution for the Viola attack at Penzo seems to be the one that leads to the confirmation of the Icelander paired with Beltran, as happened in the three games played by Fiorentina between April 23 and May 1 (Cagliari, Empoli and the first leg against Betis). Few chances of recovery for the trip to the lagoon also for Cataldi: the muscle fatigue he suffered at Villamarin is far from over for the former Lazio player who in the best of cases will be seen again on Sunday 18 against Bologna (the League has made official the day of the Appennino derby but not the time, which will be announced next Tuesday). For the rest of the eleven that will face Venezia, the feeling is that Palladino wants to give space to many of the players who performed well at the Olimpico against Roma in the last round of the championship: in defense, Marí will be seen again (and the use of Moreno is also possible) while in midfield both Richardson and Ndour have good chances of confirmation. A few more doubts on the wings, where a general rotation that brings Folorunsho and Parisi to appear from the 1st minute is not excluded.
