Fiorentina forward Moise Kean will not travel with the squad for their Serie A match against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend. The Italy striker has received permission to stay away from the team for personal reasons.
The 24-year-old and his partner are preparing to welcome their second baby. Club officials have allowed Kean to remain at home from May 1 until May 4. This news comes from Violanews.com.
Kean has already missed three consecutive league games due to physical problems. During his time off, he will keep working on his rehabilitation programme. The player hopes to recover fully from his injury troubles.
Fiorentina have performed well without their main striker. The Viola beat Lazio 1-0 and picked up draws against Lecce (1-1) and Sassuolo (0-0). Paolo Vanoli’s team have now gone seven league matches without defeat. This strong run follows a difficult start to the 2025-26 campaign.
Roberto Piccoli started up front in Kean’s place for the first two matches of this spell. However, Piccoli was unavailable for the goalless draw with Sassuolo. Icelandic attacker Albert Gudmundsson took over as the centre-forward in that game instead.
