Mohamed SALAH fully Charged for Dynamo Kiev!

Egyptian Messi SALAH seeks a return to form in its the UEFA Europa League fixture with Dynamo Kiev.

Salah is in top form and ready for Dynamo Kiev’s match.

Vincenzo Montella must re-energize his faltering Fiorentina side as it continues its last bid for silverware in Thursday’s UEFA Europa League quarterfinal first-leg tie at Dynamo Kiev.

A run of just one defeat in 19 matches across all competitions left Fiorentina hopeful of a top-three finish in Serie A and subsequent Champions League football, as well as Coppa Italia glory.

However, Fiorentina’s season unravelled in the space of five days. First a 3-0 defeat at home to Juventus last Tuesday saw the club squander a 2-1 first-leg advantage to exit the Coppa.

“We came from a 3-0 defeat at home against Juventus and now a 3-0 defeat against Napoli,” Fiorentina captain Manuel Pasqual told reporters after the Napoli defeat.

“We want to react. We are an important team and we want to prove it to everyone.”

With the promise of Champions League football on offer for the victors of Europe’s secondary competition, Fiorentina will be desperate to return to form.

But they face a Dynamo side who are flying and remain top of the Ukrainian Premier League – unbeaten.

They head into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw against Zorya, though, and Rebrov is expecting a difficult encounter.

“We must concentrate on Fiorentina,” he said. It will be a completely different game from the one played in the league [against Zorya].

“Fiorentina is a team that plays well in defense and on the counter-attack, we also have to watch out for Mohamed Salah he is a very fast player”

Dynamo are without the injured Yevhen Makarenko and Miguel Veloso, while Jose Maria Basanta is suspended for Fiorentina.
