Fiorentina star out for two weeks

The 28-year-old was expected to feature from the start at the weekend against Catania, but will now miss the game.

“Fiorentina announces that Alberto Aquilani was visited in London by Prof. Nicola Maffulli regarding his Achilles tendinopathy,” said an official statement on the club’s website.

“The specialist found no significant problems, but suggested, however, treatment for another two weeks.”
