Fiorentina striker Mario Gomez has avoided another lengthy lay-off after injuring his ankle in the 2-1 Coppa Italia victory at Juventus on Thursday but could still miss the club's Europa League clash with Roma.
Gomez has been blighted by injuries since joining the club from Bayern Munich in 2013 and was absent for much of his debut season with a knee ligament problem, before a thigh issue then sidelined the Germany international earlier this season
There were fears the problem could lead to yet another prolonged spell out of action, however, the Serie A outfit confirmed on Friday that Gomez will only be out for two weeks. The 29-year-old is now likely to miss league fixtures against Lazio and Milan, but could also sit out the Europa League last-16 first-leg clash at home to Roma on March 12.
The news continues a frustrating campaign for the player, with his goals tally for the campaign a measly seven in 23 appearances in all competitions, with six of those coming in his last seven games.
