Target Striker
FiorentinaCreates one chance in Genoa match
Piccoli (thigh) had one interception, committed one foul and created one scoring chance in 29 minutes in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Genoa.
Analysis: Piccoli was eased into action following a two-week absence, as the coach decided to give younger Riccardo Braschi his maiden start. He'll likely make the XI versus Juventus if he has a clean week of training. He hasn't contributed to a goal in five appearances, tallying two off-target shots, one key pass and four clearances over that span.
Set to be back versus Genoa
Piccoli (thigh) is on track to be selected for Sunday's match against Genoa, La Nazione reported.
Analysis: Piccoli has been able to return to full training late in the week and could push one of last week's offensive starters if he looks good in the final session, while Moise Kean (lower leg) is doubtful. Albert Gudmundsson filled in as a false-nine while both strikers were unavailable. Piccoli has scored and assisted once in his last five showings, adding three shots (one on target), three chances created and six clearances.
Unavailable versus Roma
Piccoli (thigh) hasn't been called up for Monday's clash with Roma.
Analysis: Piccoli will miss his second straight fixture because of a minor thigh injury. Albert Gudmundsson will likely act as a false-nine again since Moise Kean (lower leg/personal) is also on the mend. Riccardo Braschi will be the top deputy at the position.
Will sit out Sassuolo clash
Piccoli (thigh) hasn't been called up for Saturday's match versus Sassuolo.
Analysis: Piccoli didn't pass a late fitness test and won't be an option for this one. He'll be monitored ahead of next Monday's fixture versus Roma, as his issue is considered minor. Albert Gudmundsson is expected to lead the line, as Riccardo Braschi is the only striker in the squad, since Moise Kean (lower leg) is unavailable as well.
Questionable for Sassuolo tilt
Piccoli is in doubt for Sunday's game against Sassuolo due to adductor muscle fatigue, Sky Italy reported.
Analysis: Piccoli practiced on the side Saturday and will be further assessed on game day to determine his status. Since Moise Kean (lower leg) is still out, Albert Gudmudsson would likely play as a no.9, with Manor Solomon and Jack Harrison on the wings, if Piccoli couldn't start.
