Defensively, Konstantinos Tsimikas face late fitness tests for muscular problems. To add to the selection headaches, Neil El Aynaoui is unavailable due to a yellow-card suspension.
Consequently, Matis Soulé and Paulo Dybala are set to support Malen to bridge the gap in their pursuit of a Champions League spot.
Fiorentina team news
Manager Paolo Vanoli will be without forward Moise Kean, who is absent due to family reasons and an ongoing shin injury.
The situation is further complicated by a thigh strain to backup striker Roberto Piccoli, which likely forces Albert Gudmundsson into an unfamiliar “false nine” role to lead the attack.
On a more positive note, the defence receives a boost with Marin Pongracic returning from suspension to anchor the backline.
Additionally, wing-backs Robin Gosens and Fabiano Parisi are expected to return to the matchday squad, providing much-needed width and experience.
While Tariq Lamptey and Niccolò Fortini remain long-term absentees, the availability of veteran goalkeeper David De Gea and a stable midfield trio featuring Rolando Mandragora and Nicolo Fagioli offers the Viola hope of securing a result away from home.
Form
AS Roma
AS Roma is in strong form as they chase a Champions League spot. Their recent results show a solid run with three wins in their last five matches (W-D-W-L-W), including a significant 2-0 away victory over Bologna in their last outing. Notably, the Giallorossi have remained unbeaten at home since November, winning 11 of their 13 matches at the Stadio Olimpico against lower-ranked teams.
Fiorentina
Fiorentina sits in 16th place and enters this match on a seven-match unbeaten streak in Serie A. Their form over the last five games includes two wins and three draws (D-D-W-W-D), most recently playing out a 0-0 stalemate at home against Sassuolo. While they have struggled against top-seven sides this season, they have been tough to beat lately, losing only one of their last 11 league fixtures.
