Moise Kean is out of the Fiorentina squad for Monday\u2019s relegation battle with Lecce, so Paolo Vanoli has limited options after the Conference League.<\/p>\n

It kicks off at the Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce on Monday at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).<\/p>\n

This is going to be a big game in the battle to avoid the drop, as while Pisa and Verona are essentially doomed, there is one more spot remaining for relegation into Serie B.<\/p>\n

Cremonese were held to a 0-0 draw by Torino, leaving Lecce in the bottom three, but a victory would send them leapfrogging over Jamie Vardy\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

Fiorentina are not entirely out of the woods yet, as they are currently on 35 points, eight clear of Lecce.<\/p>\n

Vanoli has to get his team focused after Thursday\u2019s Conference League quarter-final against Crystal Palace, where they won 2-1, but were eliminated 4-2 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

Kean missed that game with a recurring ankle issue and is still not recovered, so was left behind along with Fabiano Parisi, Niccol\u00f2 Fortini and Tariq Lamptey.<\/p>\n

The good news is that Marco Brescianini and Nicol\u00f2 Fagioli are in the travelling party, though Marin Pongracic and Robin Gosens are not at 100 per cent.<\/p>\n

Fagioli and Albert Gudmundsson had been suspended last week against Lazio in Serie A, so should be relatively well rested.<\/p>\n

Dodo missed the Crystal Palace game though a ban.<\/p>\n

Fiorentina squad for Lecce:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Balbo, Braschi, Brescianini, Christensen, Comuzzo, Dodo, De Gea, Fabbian, Fagioli, Fazzini, Gosens, Gudmundsson, Harrison, Kospo, Kouadio, Lezzerini, Mandragora, Ndour, Piccoli, Pongracic, Puzzoli, Ranieri, Rugani, Solomon<\/p>\n
