Miccoli scored the first goal in Palermo’s 2-0 victory over Fiorentina on Sunday, but was stretchered off toward the end of the first half.

Palermo has not said how long the 32-year-old Miccoli will be out for, but he will undergo further tests later this week.

Miccoli has scored four goals this season.
