On the eve of Fiorentina-Inter, the rescheduled match of the 14th round of Serie A, we will clarify once and for all what the rules say in view of the resumption of the match. The game, in fact, must resume exactly from the 16th minute of the first half, which is the same minute in which referee Doveri had declared the official suspension to allow the medical staff to assist Edoardo Bove, who had fallen victim to a medical emergency on the pitch.
More than two months later, the best news is about the condition of the midfielder. The former Roma player still cannot play, but fortunately for several weeks now he has recovered from the big scare and will also support his teammates from the bench against Inter – tomorrow evening – in an evening full of emotions for him.
Fiorentina-Inter, what the regulation says and who can play
Returning to the challenge, let’s see what the conduct rules say about the rescheduled Fiorentina-Inter match. The match will resume from the 16th minute following a throw-in in favor of the Viola. This is because, just before the interruption, a goal scored by Lautaro Martinez had been cancelled due to on the previous play by Dumfries on the right wing, the ball had actually crossed the sideline and had already been reviewed by the Var.
As for the two teams on the field, only the players who were already registered and available for that match on December 1 can be fielded on both sides. Therefore, new acquisitions like Zalewski for Inter or Zaniolo for Fiorentina will not be available. While Dumfries and Comuzzo, both suspended for the 24th championship fixture on Monday, February 10, can be fielded as per normal.
A rule that will certainly limit the team selection choices of Raffaele Palladino. Fiorentina during this transfer window has made many changes to its players: eight sales and five purchases. The latest – namely Zaniolo, Fagioli, Folorunsho, Pablo Marì and Ndour – will not receive a summons.
