Nikola Kalinic is a doubt for Fiorentina’s clash with Napoli this Sunday, after an injury on Croatia duty.

The forward has four goals and an assist in his seven Serie A appearances so far, but went off after an hour of the Euro 2016 qualifier against Malta.

“Nikola was very tired,” Croatia CT Ante Cacic explained.

“He seemed to be struggling, so I decided to take him off, and in addition he felt a twinge in the muscle at the back of both thighs.

“I took him out as a precaution.”

Mediaset reports that Kalinic will have a fitness test ahead of the match with the Partenopei on Sunday afternoon, with Khouma Babacar ready to step in if the Croatian is not fit.
