Josip Ilicic to sit out of Juventus clash

Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella will be without Josip Ilicic for this afternoon's visit of Juventus.

The Slovenian midfielder has been unable to prove his fitness, although Juan Cuadrado, David Pizarro and Giuseppe Rossi should be fit to take part at some stage.

Ante Rebic will also miss the game for Viola as they look to go fourth in Serie A, while the Bianconeri are looking to close the gap on leaders Roma to two points.

This fixture ended goalless last season.
