Fiorentina have shared an update on Moise Kean’s condition after the forward collapsed on the pitch during their Serie A match against Verona on Sunday.
The incident occurred during Fiorentina’s 1-0 defeat, a game that was overshadowed by Kean’s injury midway through the second half. Antoine Bernede’s stoppage-time goal secured victory for Verona, but the focus quickly shifted to the health of the 24-year-old striker.
Kean suffered a severe head injury following a collision involving Verona players Pawel Dawidowicz and Diego Coppola. The impact left Kean with a deep wound above his left eye after he was struck on the side of the head by a knee during the tussle.
Medical staff rushed onto the pitch to treat the injured player. After receiving initial care, Kean was stretchered off and taken to a pitch-side ambulance for further examination.
Following the match, Fiorentina released an official statement confirming Kean’s condition and his transfer to a hospital for medical evaluation.
“ACF Fiorentina announces that the player Moise Kean suffered a head injury during the match against Verona,” the club stated. “The player is in hospital for checks.”
Kean’s injury is a major concern for Fiorentina, as the forward has been a key player for the team this season. Since joining from Juventus, Kean has been in impressive form, scoring 15 goals and providing two assists in Serie A. His performances have helped Fiorentina remain competitive in the league, and his absence could be a significant setback.
The extent of his injury is still unclear, but early reports suggest he may be unavailable for Fiorentina’s upcoming match against Lecce on Friday. The club is expected to provide further updates as medical tests continue.
Fans and teammates have expressed their support for Kean, hoping for a swift recovery. His strong presence in the attacking lineup has been vital for Fiorentina, and the team will be eager to have him back as soon as possible.
Fiorentina’s next challenge against Lecce will test their depth as they potentially face playing without one of their top scorers. The club remains hopeful for positive news regarding Kean’s condition as they await the results of his medical assessments.
