Fiorentina’s impressive run in the Serie A has been even more remarkable considering they’ve achieved it without one of their key players, Albert Gudmundsson. The Icelandic forward, who has been sidelined with a mild to moderate hamstring injury since October 20th, is now eyeing a return to action.
Calciomercato report how Gudmundsson’s absence has been felt, but it has also highlighted Fiorentina’s depth and potential for growth. The team has continued to perform well, with players like Beltran stepping up in Gudmundsson’s absence. This success without a key player suggests that Fiorentina have yet to reach its full potential this season.
The player has been following a rehabilitation program since his injury and is expected to resume regular training at the Viola Park next week. However, the technical staff are adopting a cautious approach to his return, prioritizing his full recovery over a rushed comeback.
While Gudmundsson is making progress, it seems unlikely that he will be available for the upcoming matches against Como and Pafos. The medical team and coaching staff are targeting a full return for the highly anticipated clash against Inter Milan at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on December 1st.
Gudmundsson’s return could provide a significant boost to Fiorentina’s already impressive form. His reintegration into the team, along with other developing factors such as the integration of new signings Pongracic and Colpani, suggests that Fiorentina’s best may be yet to come as they continue their push for a top spot in Serie A.
