Luca Toni has been drafted into the Fiorentina starting lineup for their Serie A game against Palermo away from home this afternoon.

The 35-year-old Italian striker played for the Rosanero for two years between 2003 and 2005 before joining the Florence-based side.

Goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano, who is on loan at Fiorentina from Palermo, has been dropped because of poor form.

Fabrizio Miccoli, who played for the Viola in 2004-05, will lead Palermo's attack at home.

Palermo: Ujkani; Munoz, Donati, Garcia; Giorgi, Morganella, Barreto, Arevalo Rios, Pisano; Brienza, Miccoli

Fiorentina: Neto; Tomovic, Rodriguez, Savic; Cuadrado, Migliaccio, Aquilani, Borja Valero, Pasqual; Jovetic, Toni
