Aaron Martin - Attempts 14 crosses Martin registered two shots (zero on goal), 14 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Martin earned another start following his impressive performance at Napoli on Feb. 17. Except for creating one less chance, he doubled or more than doubled all his other offensive stats. The most remarkable part of Martin's latest log was his 14 crosses, the second time has surpassed 10 in that category in a game this season. He has now logged 37 crosses (nine accurate) across his last four starts.

Stefano Sabelli - Four crosses, three accurate Sabelli generated four crosses (three accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Udinese.

Impact Sabelli returned to Genoa's starting Xi for the team's games in February. For the first time since Nov. 5, the wide midfielder was able to log multiple accurate crosses in a Serie A appearance, which he logged 14 of since then. While still without a Serie A assist since 2019, his latest effort is at least a positive step back in the right direction.

Mattia Bani - One goal, six clearances Bani scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Udinese.

Impact Bani has his second goal of the 2023-24 Serie A. During February, he fared mostly well on the defensive end, finishing that month with 22 clearances and six interceptions across his four appearances.

Josep Martínez - One-save clean sheet Martinez registered one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Udinese.

Impact Martinez saved one shot from Walace, and it was all the goalkeeper needed to maintain a clean sheet, his sixth of the 2023-24 Serie A. He will look to get his seventh on March 4. However, Genoa's game then is scheduled at league leaders Inter Milan, the only Serie A team currently averaging more than two goals per game.

Ridgeciano Haps - Does not feature versus Napoli Haps (knee) was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Napoli.

Impact Haps didn't get minutes after shaking off a knee sprain that cost him a month. He has to compete with multiple players on the left wing. Aaron Martin got the nod in this one and fared well. Morten Frendrup, Junior Messias and Djed Spence are also ahead of him in the depth chart. He has appeared 11 times (six starts), tallying three shots (zero on target), two chances created and five interceptions. He had a regular role only in the early going.

Junior Messias - Quiet outing against Napolii Messias had zero shots and one chance created during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Napoli.

Impact Messias had his first start in more than a month and couldn't benefit from the new opportunity and even failed to attempt a shot. That's now four matches with zero shots attempted over the last five appearances for the forward, who will hope to get a new chance next Saturday as his side hosts Udinese.

Aaron Martin - Thrives in rare start Martin had one off-target shot, created three chances and sent in six crosses (three accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Napoli.

Impact Martin just his second start since the calendar flipped to 2024 and had a performance that reminded us of how dangerous he can be from the left flank. With eight chances created and 33 crosses over his last five appearances, the full-back will hope this performance helps him to finally get consistent playing time moving forward.

Josep Martínez - Makes six saves against Napoli Martinez made six saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Napoli.

Impact Martinez had a great performance against the defending champs, making several difficult saves and being on verge of keeping a second clean sheet in three matches. However, Cyril Ngonge had other plans and beat the goalkeeper with a turnaround shot from inside the box for the equalizer in the 90th minute. With just one game with multiple goals allowed over his last 12 starts and 39 saves during the same stretch, Martinez will try to keep up with his strong play during next Saturday's clash against Udinese.

Morten Frendrup - Scores against Genoa Frendrup scored a goal off his lone shot and made two tackles (one won), three clearances and three clearances during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Napoli.

Impact Frendrup had another busy display in the middle of the park but his biggest contribution came in the beginning of the second half as he opened the scoring for Genoa with a brilliant finish from just outside the box. This was the first goal of the season for Frendrup, who has also made four assists over 23 appearances.

Ridgeciano Haps - Coming back in Napoli fixture Haps (knee) "reprised practicing with the group this week. It's good to have more choices," coach Alberto Gilardino announced.

Impact Haps has healed pretty quickly from a knee sprain that cost him four games. The competition in his role has increased in the past month considering the arrival of Djed Spence, plus Morten Frendrup and Aaron Martin have done well and Junior Messias is healthy now. He has started once in his last five showings, logging four crosses (one accurate), one tackle and one clearance.

Alan Matturro - Out for the season Matturro had clean-up surgery on both patellar tendons, Genoa announced.

Impact Matturro is currently expected to make a full recovery ahead of the start of next season, even though his injury wasn't standard. He has appeared just five times (one start) for a total of 90 minutes, so his absence won't significantly impact Genoa's rotation.

Junior Messias - Swings in one cross in Atalanta tilt Messias (thigh) had one block and one inaccurate cross and drew one foul in Sunday's 4-1 defeat versus Atalanta.

Impact Messias played about 15 minutes, considering an extra long stoppage time, and didn't make a big impact. Given their recent lineups, he'll split time primarily with Kevin Strootman and Morten Frendrup and star either in the midfield or on the wing. He has notched two off-target shots, one key pass and five inaccurate crosses in his last four showings.

Milan Badelj - Assist in loss Badelj assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 4-1 defeat to Atalanta.

Impact Badelj earned only his third goal contribution of the season Sunday, finding Ruslan Malinovskyi in the 51st minute for an assist and the club's only goal of the match. All three of Badelj's goal contributions have now come from assists, with his last being just two appearances ago against Salernitana on Jan. 21. He has now started both contests since serving a ban two matches ago, notching one cross, two tackles won and three chances created to go along with his assist during that span.

Ruslan Malinovskyi - Nets goal Malinovskyi scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 4-1 defeat against Atalanta.

Impact Malinovskyi was one of the few players to do something positive for Genoa Sunday, bagging a goal off of a Milan Badelj assist in the 51st minute. This gave Malinovskyi only his third goal contribution of the season, with his last coming back on Dec. 2, where he also scored against Empoli. He will now hope to keep up this type of production going into their next match, as despite starting in 17 contests this campaign, he has had a slightly lackluster season in his midfield role, only registering nine chances created, 15 crosses and 32 shots to go along with his six-goal contributions.

Josep Martínez - Concedes four against Atalanta Martinez had five saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-1 loss against Atalanta.

Impact Martinez had a woeful day in net Sunday, allowing for goals while facing nine shots on target in the loss. This came just one match after he recorded a clean sheet, making four saves in their previous contest against Empoli. He will now look to recover and pick up his sixth clean sheet of the season when he faces Napoli on Saturday.
