Fiorentina squad named for Roma opener: Atta and Kean available

Fiorentina manager Fabio Grosso has named his squad for tomorrow's Serie A opener against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico (20:45 kick-off). Moise Kean, Albert Gudmundsson and Franco Mastantuono are all included, with Arthur Atta and Rolando Mandragora confirmed fit after recent injury concerns and recent partial training. The full squad list comprises three goalkeepers (Christensen, De Gea, Lezzerini), nine defenders (Dodò, Dragusin, Viery, Jimenez, Kospo, Joao Mario, Pongracic, Ranieri, Valdepenas), seven midfielders (Atta, Brescianini, Fabbian, Fagioli, Mandragora, Ndour, Oulai) and six forwards (Croci, Gudmundsson, Kean, Mastantuono, Mazzeo, Pellegrino).

Roma's Serie A fixture at Lecce on 31 August may be relocated from the home ground if ongoing restructuring works at Stadio Via del Mare, undertaken for the Mediterranean Games, prevent the venue from receiving clearance. The decision on whether the stadium can host Serie A matches will be made on 23 August, according to Teleramanews. If the Via del Mare fails the necessary verification checks, Stadio Dall'Ara in Bologna has been identified as the potential alternative venue for the match, situated over 800 kilometres from Lecce. The restructuring programme has created a complex situation for Lecce's home fixtures during this period.

Fiorentina have announced their squad for tomorrow's season opener at the Olimpico, with manager Grosso confirming that key players Atta and Kean are both fit and included in the travelling party. The Violet will arrive at full strength for the fixture. Gasperini's Roma will begin their 2026–27 campaign against opponents at full capacity. Grosso, the former Sassuolo boss now in charge of Fiorentina, has recovered his main attacking threats ahead of the match. Fiorentina's squad list includes goalkeepers Christensen, De Gea and Lezzerini; defenders Dodò, Dragusin, Viery, Jimenez, Kospo, Joao Mario, Pongracic, Ranieri and Valdepenas; midfielders Atta, Brescianini, Fabbian, Fagioli, Mandragora, Ndour and Oulai; and forwards Croci, Gudmundsson, Kean, Mastantuono, Mazzeo and Pellegrino.
