FLORENCE, ITALY – ACF Fiorentina says midfielder Alberto Aquilani will be out for two weeks with an Achilles injury. Aquilani was expected to make his first start for Fiorentina against Catania this weekend.
Aquilani began his career at Roma and, after a brief loan spell at Triestina, returned to the Serie A club where he became a regular in the Roma side during the 2005–06 season. During the following season, he suffered a thigh injury and was ruled out for several months. He moved to Liverpool for the start of the 2009–10 season but in August 2010, having received only limited playing time at Anfield, he joined Juventus on loan until the end of the 2010–11 season.
Aquilani returned to Liverpool at the end of the season as Juventus did not take up their purchase option. He went on loan again in 2011, playing for A.C. Milan for the 2011–12 season.
However, Fiorentina says he visited a specialist in London on Monday and is expected to be sidelined for a further two weeks. Aquilani, who spent last season on loan at AC Milan, has made two substitute appearances for Fiorentina since signing from Liverpool in the offseason.
