Something goes seriously wrong with the rule: newly bought players cannot be registered for the makeup match.

- for Inter: no Zalewski.
- for Fio: no Pablo Mari, Folorunsho, Zaniolo, Ndour, Valentini. The wrong thing here: players that left obviously aren't here anymore => no Quarta, Kayode, Ikone, Kouame.

Therefore Inter absent list includes Palacios + Buchanan too but they are basically non-factor. Should be a much easier 3 point on paper.

The good news is that Dumfries is available for this game but will miss the next one due to his yellow card suspension.

So it's going to be two really different games in 1 week :)

Maybe Zalewski will play RWB the second game

Last six results by Fiorentina
2 - 2 against Juve
0 - 3 loss against Napoli
2 - 1 loss against Monza
1 - 1 against Torino
1 - 2 win against Lazio
2 - 1 win against Genoa

So not exactly as good as when we played them first.

Winning for sure on Thursday. Will be harder against them on Monday.

I'm hoping one of Hakan or Mkhitaryan doesn't start on Thursday. I'm trusting Inzaghi to know he has to reshuffle the line ups a bit.

Surprise would be if Correa returned to group training

Correa will be remembered for THAT game against Verona right at the start of his Inter career and THAT game against Verona right at the end of his Inter career. With so little quality around him then there was a real opportunity for him to be the go-to man off the bench, but he seems to have had various non-specific ailments for months now to push himself out of the picture entirely.

We'll all be glad to see the back of him but, maybe I'm getting old and soft here, I do have some sympathy for him when he's never been able to put together any sort of injury-free run. It's very reminiscent of Stefano Sensi here and being reminded of him I thought I would see how he's doing at Como. Just 7 League appearances and missed more than 2 months between mid-September and late November with injury. Poor guy.

They were busy in the mercato with 6 players leaving and a further six arriving either on full deals or loans. So obviously none of those are available for this game. One of those new loan signings is Nicolo Zaniolo which is a move that totally passed me by.

Yes, it's a weird situation that our next two matches are against the same team, both in Serie A, but entirely different lineups. Like this match versus Fiorentina B and next one vs Fiorentina A.

Should be an easy win then will be a much harder match next.
