Fiorentina, Vincenzo Italiano explains the knockout of Nico Gonzalez

Vincenzo Italiano explains Nico Gonzalez's injury

Fiorentina returns from the Belgian away match against Genk with a point and a lot of regret: twice leading with Ranieri, the Viola were caught up first by Zeqiri and then, in the final part of the match, by McKenzie. But è another factor to worry Vincenzo Italiano, the knockout suffered by Nico Gonzalez, who was forced to leave the match after 45'.

"Nico felt pain in his abdomen, he felt an excruciating pain – said the technician of the lily club to the microphones of 'Sky Sport' -, that is why he asked for the change. We do not know what it is yet, we hope nothing serious: you know how important Nico è for us".

The coach's comment on the performance of the match does not hide a bit of disappointment for the faded success: "Before the 2-2 we had two important chances to close it out, we could have done better – he said. Playing here is not è easy, Genk showed pace, è a team that does not let you play well".

"Then from being able to close it out we also risked losing,” admitted Italiano. “We keep the performance, in a game where we spared someone who was not very well, and the point. In the end we can say we are happy".
