"The man who breathed life into Fiorentina's survival bid was not meant to be playing at all. Moise Kean returned to training on Saturday after almost a week away attending to a private family matter. The club's manager, Paolo Vanoli, did not intend to name him in the matchday squad to face Cremonese one day later, but had his hand forced by a late injury to Edin Dzeko."
"I have to tell the truth because that's how I am I'm a sincere person, explained Vanoli at a press conference on Sunday. When [Kean] came back I told him Moise, out of respect for the group, I'm not even going to put you on the bench'. Kean's departure had ruffled feathers in Florence, at a time when his team were bottom of the Serie A table."
Moise Kean returned to training on Saturday after almost a week away attending to a private family matter and was included in the matchday squad only because Edin Dzeko suffered a late injury. Manager Paolo Vanoli initially planned not to name Kean out of respect for players who remained in a winter training camp. Kean's departure provoked local criticism, with agent Furio Valcareggi saying the club should sever ties. Vanoli emphasized that Kean's absence had been agreed and repeatedly postponed, and focused on players who had been present and training. Fiorentina struggled early in the season and showed only marginal improvement after Vanoli's appointment.
