Unavailable for Lecce contest

Nzola "needs some time to work on his fitness," coach Fabio Pisacane stated.

Analysis: Nzola wasn't part of the plans at Fiorentina and wasn't training fully and didn't play in the friendlies, so he'll have to start almost from scratch at this new club. Paul Mendy will continue to lead the front line, as Kevin Carlos (personal) is missing for this one too. Alessandro Sugamele could get some minutes too.

Moves to Cagliari

Nzola has transferred from Fiorentina to Cagliari on a permanent deal.

Analysis: Nzola departs Fiorentina for good after playing temporarily for Lens, Pisa, and Sassuolo in recent years. He scored and assisted once in 2025/2026, adding 11 shots (four on target), five chances created and four tackles. He'll compete with Paul Mendy and Kevin Carlos in Sardinia.
