His attempt to stay on the field è however, proved futile.

The purple center forward had sustained a cut to his eyebrow arch around the hour mark after an aerial clash. After losing a lot of blood, Kean è returned to the field a few minutes later with a conspicuous bandage without, however, being able to affect the game.

More than five minutes later, then, he silenced the Bentegodi by crouching on the ground in midfield with the ball away. Rushed by Fiorentina medical personnel, è it became clear almost immediately that there were no serious problems for him. Inevitable, però the substitution.

Kean gave way to Fagioli at 67', leaving the field on a stretcher with his neck immobilized by a collar. Applause for him from the whole stadium: from his Fiorentina fans and also from those of Verona, one of his former teams.
