Kalinic blow for Fiorentina

Nikola Kalinic could face a spell out for Fiorentina after Croatia head coach Ante Cacic confirmed the striker picked up an injury while on international duty.

The 27-year-old was taken off during his country's 1-0 win over Malta in their final UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier on Tuesday with an apparent hamstring complaint.

While Cacic insists the Viola striker's substitution was merely a precaution, Kalinic looks likely to miss out for Fiorentina when they travel to Napoli in the Serie A at the weekend.

"Nikola was very tired," Caci is quoted as sayng by Football Italia.

"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."
