Stefano Sturaro - Doubtful for Milan match Sturaro might miss the second game in a row as coach Alexander Blessin stated that he is not fully fit yet in the pre-game presser.

Impact Sturaro was a late scratch for the previous match and he is dealing with an undisclosed muscular ailment. The coach stated that they are working to have him ready as soon as possible, but he did not specify whether he would be available Sunday. Pablo Galdames or Morten Frendrup would get the start in the midfield if Sturaro was held out or initially kept on the bench.

Stefano Sturaro - Ruled out for Lazio game Sturaro (undisclosed) is missing from Genoa's squad list to face Lazio Sunday.

Impact Sturaro is a late scratch for unspecified reasons. With Nicolo Rovella still on the mend, Pablo Galdames or Morten Frendrup will join Milan Badelj in the midfield.

Mattia Bani - Called up for Lazio match Bani (thigh) has been named in Genoa's squad list to face Lazio Sunday.

Impact Bani sat out the previous game with a muscular issue, but it was not too severe. He is likely to be a bench option since the starters Nikola Maksimovic and Leo Ostigard are available for this one.

Nicolo Rovella - Will sit out more matches Rovella was diagnosed with a quad pull following the Verona game and will miss at least the next two contests, Il Secolo XIX reports.

Impact Rovella was a late scratch for the previous contest, and his injury is fairly considerable. He has struggled to stay healthy since January on. Stefano Sturaro and Milan Badelj will remain the top choices in the midfield, while Pablo Galdames and Hernani will be the main backups with Rovella on the mend.

Caleb Ekuban - Comes off bench against Lazio Ekuban (thigh) had three passes in 12 minutes in Monday's 0-1 loss to Verona.

Impact Ekuban returned after a four-game absence, but he played too little to make an impact. He could unseat Albert Gudmundsson or Filippo Melegoni in Sunday's home game versus Lazio. He has notched one goal, two assists, 27 shots and 12 chances in 23 appearances (15 starts).

APRIL 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Ostigard - Will be back in Lazio match Ostigard completed a one-game suspension in Monday's 0-1 loss to Verona.

Impact Ostigard was sent off in the previous match. He is highly likely to make the XI in Sunday's fixture, with Johan Vasquez returning to the left-back position and one between Silvan Hefti and Morten Frendrup on the other flank.

AC Milan missed the chance to pull three points clear at the top of Serie A as it was held to a 0-0 draw by Bologna

Nadiem Amiri - Fires in four crosses as substitute Amiri had four crosses and sustained one foul in the 1-0 loss to Verona on Monday.

Impact In an attempt to revive the offense, Amiri subbed on in the 63rd minute. Though nothing came of his aggressive crossing, the midfielder has the potential to make a big difference in the next match against Lazio.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Filippo Melegoni - Puts up five crosses Melegoni had one shot (on goal) five crosses, one interception, two tackles, two fouls, created one chance and sustained four fouls in the 1-0 loss to Verona on Monday.

Impact After going down early, Melegoni unsuccessfully tried everything he could to equalize. The midfielder is an inconsistent crosser, though he has been seeing improvement lately. Maybe he can log a few more in the next match against Lazio.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Salvatore Sirigu - Gives up one goal to lose Sirigu had two saves and conceded one goal in the 1-0 loss to Verona on Monday.

Impact Though Verona didn't put up too much of a fight, Giovanni Simeone managed to beat Sirigu in the 5th minute to score the only goal of the match. The keeper broke a four match streak of clean sheets against Verona, but hopefully he can get back on track against Lazio.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Rovella - Will miss Verona game Rovella got banged up during the international break and was omitted from Genoa's squad list to face Verona Monday.

Impact Rovella is dealing with a minor muscular problem and the coaching staff opted to be cautious, Il Secolo XIX informs. He has struggled to find his footing after a lengthy absence in December and January, where Milan Badelj and Stefano Sturaro have started consistently in the midfield. Pablo Galdames and Hernani will have better chances to see minutes off the bench without Rovella.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Bani - Unavailable versus Verona Bani (undisclosed) was omitted from Genoa's squad list to face Verona Monday.

Impact Bani was set to replace the suspended Leo Ostigard in the midfield, but he is out with an unspecified physical problem. The coach could opt to start the returning Domenico Criscito or move Johan Vasquez to the middle of the defense.

APRIL 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Ekuban - On track for Verona game Ekuban returned to full training Monday, Genoa informed.

Impact Ekuban sat out the last four matches because of a thigh strain. He was their top attacker before the hiccup, and he is expected to eventually unseat Filippo Melegoni and the other players that filled in while he was out. However, the coaching staff might prefer to bring him off the bench at first. He has posted one goal, one assist, nine shots and six chances in the last five appearances. Genoa will face Verona away Monday.
