Team News: Mario Gomez returns for Fiorentina

Mario Gomez has returned to the starting lineup for Fiorentina ahead of this afternoon's Serie A match against Cagliari.

Juan Cuadrado, Borja Valero and Joaquin are also back in the starting XI for Vincenzo Montella's side.

Cagliari have made two changes from last weekend's 3-3 draw with Napoli, as Daniele Conti and Alessandro Capello are both handed starts.

Fiorentina: Neto, Savic, Gonzalo, Basanta, Alonso, Mati, Pizarro, Valero, Joaquin, Cuadrado, Gomez
