Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah could make his first appearance with Fiorentina when they face Atalanta in the Italian Serie A on Sunday.

The 22-year-old was included in Vincenzo Montella's squad for the game after joining Fiorentina on a six-month loan deal from English Premier League leaders Chelsea.

"Salah can play right, left and perhaps even a second striker," former AS Roma striker Montella told a news conference ahead of the Atalanta match.

"He is making a fine impact and he is physically ready," Montella added.

Salah has failed to establish himself at Chelsea since joining from Swiss side Basel in January 2014.

He made 18 appearances with the Blues, scoring twice and creating as many goals.
