Fiorentina coach Italiano: We want Amrabat to win Rice duel

Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano admits Sofyan Amrabat's clash with West Ham captain Declan Rice will be key in tonight's Europa Conference League final.

Amrabat and Rice will go head-to-head in midfield tonight.

Italiano said, "I think tomorrow two top-level midfielders will face each other, two players who clearly raise the level of their teams.

"They are players who if they enter the field in top condition. For us Amrabat is important, when he is 100% he is a footballer who has qualities that everyone wants to have, for his strength and the ability to stop opposing situations in the bud.

"I hope he can come in with heart and soul, hopefully he can win his personal duel with Rice."
