Impact Summary

The potential absence of M. Kean is a major blow for Fiorentina: he is their standout attacking reference with 8 goals and 1 assist in Serie A, plus 75 shots and 27 on target, underlining his central role in their 38-goal league tally. If he does not feature, pressure will rise on alternative forwards such as A. Guðmundsson and J. Harrison to compensate.

Genoa’s confirmed loss is creator-forward Junior Messias, removing a versatile attacking option from a side that has scored 40 league goals. However, their top assister Aarón Martín (5 assists, 1 goal) is fully available, preserving a key supply line from the left. Overall, Fiorentina’s attacking output looks more at risk than Genoa’s if their doubtful forwards fail to recover.
