The highly anticipated continuation of the Serie A clash between Fiorentina and Inter Milan will resume on Thursday, 6 February 2025, after the original match was interrupted on 1 December 2024 due to a medical emergency involving Edoardo Bove. The game will restart from the 16th minute at Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence, with the scoreline still at 0-0.
Key Updates on the Match Resumption
- Match Restart Time: The game will pick up from the 16th minute at 0-0. Fiorentina will have a throw-in when play resumes.
- Date & Time: 6 February 2025 at 20:45 CET at Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence.
- Substitutions: Both teams can make up to five substitutions, just as they were allowed in the first match. However, they can only use players who were available at the time of the interruption.
- Eligible Players: While no new signings can participate, players already on the team at the time of the interruption can play. Notably, Nicola Zalewski will not be eligible for Inter Milan, and several Fiorentina players like Pablo Marì and Nicolò Zaniolo cannot take part.
- Suspensions: Any yellow cards given in the original match will not be counted towards suspensions in this resumed game. Players currently on a yellow card (e.g., Bastoni for Inter and Gosens for Fiorentina) will miss the upcoming match if they receive another booking.
Predicted Lineups for Fiorentina vs. Inter Milan
Both teams have seen changes in their squad dynamics since the match was first halted, and fans can expect some adjustments in the starting XI:
Fiorentina (4-2-3-1)
- Goalkeeper: De Gea
- Defenders: Dodò, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Gosens

Player Focus: Yann Bisseck to Start?
One of the main talking points ahead of the game is the potential change in Inter Milan's starting lineup. Yann Bisseck is reportedly set to displace Benjamin Pavard after Pavard's stellar performance against AC Milan. The German defender, who was benched during the Milan derby, could return to the XI to face Fiorentina. This adjustment is part of Simone Inzaghi's strategy to keep the squad fresh amid a busy fixture schedule.
The Importance of This Match for Both Teams
With Serie A standings tight and both clubs aiming for European competition spots, the continuation of this match holds significant importance. Inter Milan, currently sitting among the top contenders, will look to secure three points, while Fiorentina will fight to build momentum after a strong start to the season.
