INJURY WOES FOR FIORENTINA
Fiorentina begins its Group E campaign without prized summer signing Mario Gomez, who is out for six weeks with a left knee injury, and also speedy winger Juan Cuadrado, who dislocated his shoulder in the same Serie A game against Cagliari on Sunday.
Fiorentina will be among the favorites for the competition after finishing fourth in the Italian league last season, just missing out on a Champions League berth to AC Milan on the final day of the season.
