Team News: Giuseppe Rossi, Joaquin Sanchez lead Fiorentina line

Rossi, Joaquin lead Fiorentina line

Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella has decided to start both Giuseppe Rossi and Joaquin Sanchez for this afternoon's trip to Chievo in Serie A.

Rossi was rested in midweek following a hat-trick against Juventus last Sunday, but is fit to replace Ryder Matos in Verona.

Joaquin had a huge impact from the bench in La Viola's 4-2 win over the defending champions and starts this afternoon as a result, with the Spaniard playing in advanced wide role.

Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado will provide support from the opposite flank, while Alberto Aquilani also returns to the starting XI in central midfield.

Chievo are still without Luca Rigoni and Gennaro Sardo through suspension but do have Cyril Thereau fit to start in attack, alongside Alberto Paloschi.

Chievo: Puggioni; Frey, Claiton, Cesar; Estigarribia, Hetemaj, Radovanovic, Bentivoglio, Drame; Paloschi, Thereau

Fiorentina: Neto; Tomovic, Gonzalo, Savic; Pasqual, Aquilani, Pizarro, Borja Valero; Joaquin, Rossi, Cuadrado
