Fiorentina have beaten Lazio 1-0, drawn 1-1 with Lecce and drawn 0-0 with Sassuolo in Kean’s absence. Paolo Vanoli’s side are now seven matches unbeaten in the league after a disastrous first half of the 2025-26 season.
Roberto Piccoli was Fiorentina’s go-to replacement for the first two matches of Kean’s recent absence, but as the Italian was also ruled out of the most recent 0-0 draw with Sassuolo, the starting centre-forward role was handed over to Albert Gudmundsson.

What happened
Moise Kean is expected to be unavailable for Fiorentina's upcoming Serie A match against Roma after receiving permission to be away from the squad for personal reasons. Reports say the striker will be absent from May 1 to May 4 as he awaits the birth of his second child. Kean had already missed Fiorentina's previous three league matches because of injury and will continue his rehabilitation during this period. Fiorentina have remained unbeaten during his recent absence, using Roberto Piccoli and then Albert Gudmundsson as alternatives in the central forward role.
Chance analysis
This matters mainly as a lineup and attacking-depth issue for Fiorentina ahead of a high-profile away match. Kean's absence reduces Fiorentina's center-forward options and may force another adjustment in the front line, even if recent results suggest the team can remain competitive without him.
Kean's expected absence weakens Fiorentina's attacking continuity for the Roma match but does not fully derail a side that has recently coped without him.
Treat this as a likely Fiorentina attacking personnel downgrade and monitor the confirmed striker selection against Roma.
