Franck Ribéry, who signed on Thursday his contract with Fiorentina, is part of the group called to face Naples Saturday at home for the first day of Serie A.
During his press conference Thursday, the French had said that even if he was "not ready", he would make himself available to face Naples, coached by Carlo Ancelotti, who led him to Bayern Munich.
"I need a bit of time, I do not know how long, but if the Mister + asks me, I'm coming in. Ten minutes, five minutes, two minutes ...", he said.
His coach Vincenzo Montella was therefore on the same page and had also announced Friday at noon press conference he was planning to call on his new offensive star.
"Ribery is late, but he immediately convinced me that he wants to be competitive and help us, I will call him and I hope to have the opportunity to play him," he said.
"He can help us because he is one of the best decisive smugglers in circulation," he added.
