Manu Koné
ROMRuled out for Lazio game
Kone (undisclosed) will miss Sunday's clash with Lazio.
Analysis: Kone got hurt too close to the game to be called up and will be better assessed in the next few days to determine his status for the season finale against Verona. Niccolo Pisilli, Bryan Cristante and Neil El Aynaoui are all starting in the midfield in a less aggressive formation, with Matias Soule initially on the bench.
Questionable for Lazio bout
Kone picked up a muscular problem in the final training session of the week and is in doubt for Sunday's derby with Lazio, Sky Italy reported.
Analysis: Kone was unable to complete the last practice before the game and might undergo the tests in the next few hours to assess the severity of his late issue and determine his status for Sunday. Niccolo Pisilli and Neil El Aynaoui woul soak up his workload if he weren't available or 100 percent.
Fit again
Kone (thigh) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Fiorentina.
Analysis: Kone was likely for Monday and has passed his testing, with the midfielder recovering from a thigh injury to return to a starting role immediately. He continues in his regular role when fit, earning four goal contributions in 26 appearances (26 starts) this season.
Expected to return against Fiorentina
Kone (thigh) resumed training fully Wednesday, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
Analysis: Kone will have multiple sessions to work on his fitness and be in contention to start Monday versus Fiorentina despite missing the last five games because of a thigh injury. Niccolo Pisilli took his place for the most part. He has provided one assist in his last five displays (all starts), notching four shots (zero on target), five chances created and eight tackles (one won) during that stretch.
