Forentina rediscovered their winning form during the week, when they defeated Napoli 2-1 at the Artemio Franchi stadium.

It was a tremendous result that kept the club in the top six, after 21 rounds of football this season. The triumph was made even more impressive by the fact that they achieved it without their influential hitman Adrian Mutu, who missed through injury.

Mutu has been out since the first match of the year, when the Viola were stunned at home by Lecce. He picked up a serious elbow injury in a heavy clash with an opponent throughout the club’s worst performance of the season.

Since then, he has made great progress in terms of recovering from the injury, and it was initially suggested that he would return in time for this weekend’s round of matches, when the Tuscan based outfit travel to Bologna.
