Morten Frendrup - Will miss Salernitana game Frendrup is absent from Genoa's squad list to face Salernitana Sunday.

Impact Frendrup might have been excluded due to a coach's decision rather than because of an injury as the gaffer stated that he has yet to settle in since joining. Moreover, Genoa have replenished their depth in the midfield with the return of Nicolo Rovella for this one.

He has converted five penalty kicks so far and posted 18 shots, 29 tackles, 42 clearances and 27 crosses in 15 matches.

Paolo Ghiglione - Unavailable against Salernitana Ghiglione did not make Genoa's squad list to fa Salernitana Sunday.

Impact Ghiglione has returned to practice after COVID-19 a couple of weeks ago, so his omission is likely more of a technical choice than an injury-related one. It will likely take an injury to the other fullbacks for Ghiglione to re-enter the fold.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hernani - Remains sidelined for Salernitana game Hernani was not named in Genoa's squad list to face Salernitana Sunday.

Impact Hernani has shaken off COVID-19 a while back, so his exclusion is more of a technical choice than injury-related, as the coach evidently prefers other options in the role. Hernani has struggled to find a consistent role this season.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Bani - Will miss time Bani suffered a flexor strain in the left thigh and will be re-evaluated in the next few weeks, Genoa announced.

FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Cambiaso - Eligible to face Salernitana Cambiaso served his one-game ban in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Salernitana.

Salvatore Sirigu - Keeps clean sheet in draw Sirigu made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Genoa.

Impact Sirigu showed his usual poise between the sticks and even had luck by his side as Nicolo Zaniolo beat him with a powerful strike from the edge of the box in the 90th minute, but the what looked to be the game-winning goal was ruled out due to a foul earlier in the play. This was the second consecutive clean sheet for the goalkeeper and he'll try to make it three in-a-row during Feb. 13 home clash against Salernitana.

Zinho Vanheusden - Makes five clearances in draw Vanheusden had one shot on goal, made one tackle (won), five clearances, two interceptions and one block, helped his side to keep a clean sheet and was shown a yellow card during S...

Impact Vanheusden was an imposing presence against Roma attackers, neutralizing every single opponent who faced him and racking up some decent fantasy numbers in the process. This season the youngster finally looks like the centre back many expected him to be for years and will try to keep up with the strong play during Feb. 13 home match against Salernitana.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Manolo Portanova - Sends in eight crosses in draw Portanova had one shot on goal, created two chances, sent in eight crosses (three accurate) and made one tackle (won) during Saturday's scoreless draw against Roma.

Impact Portanova couldn't generate much on open play, but was the usual menace on set pieces, leading all players in crosses, but Genoa forwards couldn'r convert these chances into goals. After a rough stretch over the last two months, the playmaker looks finally in his best shape after missing the start of the season. He'll try to appear on the scoresheet for the first time during Feb. 13 home match against Salernitana.
