Fiorentina midfielder Castrovilli spends night in hospital

Published on: 19 September 2021

Gaetano Castrovilli will not be available to face Inter, as the Fiorentina midfielder spent the night in hospital after colliding with the upright.

The incident occurred during Saturday’s 2-1 win away to Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

In heavy rain, the midfielder went sliding towards the ball at the back post and collided with the woodwork.

He was taken to the local hospital for X-Rays, which showed no fractures to his ribs.

Nonetheless, the Corriere dello Sport reports that Castrovilli was kept in hospital overnight for observation.

There will be more tests today, but it seems impossible to see the Italy international recover in time to play against Inter on Tuesday evening.

The 24-year-old has made five appearances in the Fiorentina jersey this season, contributing one assist.

Fiorentina are on sparkling form after three consecutive Serie A victories, while Inter are fresh from a 6-1 win over Bologna at San Siro.
