Fiorentina have suffered a new injury setback.

Following Stevan Jovetic's knee injury, Adem Ljajic has also collected a ligament blow.

Ljajic was meant to be his replacement in the trequartista role, but he too is now likely to miss the opening game of the season.

The official Fiorentina website today released a statement confirming Ljajic will be out for two weeks after spraining his knee and collateral medial knee ligament.
