Fiorentina striker Moise Kean`s participation in Sunday`s derby against Empoli at the Stadio Franchi is currently uncertain. Kean missed the recent away match against Cagliari due to significant family circumstances, which teammate Mandragora later clarified involved a serious bereavement. Following the Cagliari game, Kean traveled to Paris to be with part of his family.
Yesterday, the club released a statement indicating that Kean is expected back in Florence in the coming days, deliberately without specifying an exact return date. This approach demonstrates that the club is not placing any undue pressure on the player during this difficult period.
Meanwhile, Kean showed his connection to the team by sharing a post on social media overnight about Fiorentina`s 2-1 victory in Cagliari. He also shared a post from teammate Dodô, who dedicated the win to him, a gesture replicated by Sporting Director Pradè, head coach Vincenzo Palladino, and the rest of the squad after the match.
