Impact Frendrup has significant experience for his age having already collected 93 appearances across all competition for his previous team. He will provide depth to the midfield at Genoa.

Morten Frendrup - Joins Genoa Frendrup has transferred to Genoa on a permanent deal from Brondby, the club announced.
Nadiem Amiri - Moves to Genoa Amiri has joined Genoa on a season-long loan with conditioned obligation to buy from Bayer Leverkusen, the clubs announced.
Impact Amiri fell out of favor this season and has mostly had a backup role, posting one goal, eight shots, three chances and eight crosses in 13 appearances (three starts) in Bundesliga. He is poised to be a key cog in Genoa design ie he adapts quickly. He scored twice and set up six teammates in 29 matches in his most productive campaign to date.

Roberto Piccoli - Loaned to Genoa Piccoli has transferred to Genoa on a season-long loan, Atalanta announced.
Impact Piccoli had two more established strikers ahead of him at Atalanta and will get more consistent playing time at his new club, where he will compete with Mattia Destro, Felipe Caicedo, Goran Pandev and Caleb Ekuban. He has scored once in 12 appearances (one start) so far, while he hit the net five times in 20 matches with Spezia in the previous campaign.

Salvatore Sirigu - Makes zero saves in draw Sirigu made zero saves and received one clean sheet in the 0-0 draw against Udinese on Saturday.
Impact Sirigu had quite an uneventful day Saturday. The keeper was not tested once and it was a needed break after conceding six goals from twelve shots the game prior. Sirigu has had a rollercoaster of a season in terms of form, but he seems to be on yet another climb. Over his last five appearances, he is averaging, 4.6 saves and 1.6 goals against per 90 minutes in all competitions.

Silvan Hefti - Lands three tackles in draw Hefti created one chance, sent two crosses (none accurate), made three tackles (two won) and intercepted once during the 0-0 draw with Udinese on Saturday.
Impact Hefti strung together another solid two-way performance in the close draw Saturday. The defender has not disappointed since his arrival from Young Boys. In three appearances, he is averaging, 0.33 shots, 1.33 crosses, 3.66 tackles and 1.0 interceptions per 90 minutes in all competitions. As long as Hefti can continue his shot output with his stellar defensive play, he will be one of the stars of Genoa.

Manolo Portanova - Gets ejected in second-half of draw Portanova produced two shots (none on target), created one chance, sent six crosses (one accurate), took four corners and made seven tackles (four won) in the 0-0 draw with Udinese...
Impact Portanova shined in moments and was dull in others. The midfielder ultimately had the best chance of the game and he butchered it. He did however throw together a season-high seven tackles and he succeeded on half of them. Unfortunately, this was more of an outlier performance than expected though. Until Portanova can produce more consistently, he can be passed for safer options.
JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Stefano Sturaro - Takes six corners in 0-0 draw Sturaro created two chances, sent 11 crosses (one accurate), took six corners, made two tackles (two won) and received one yellow card in the 0-0 draw with Udinese on Saturday.
Impact Sturaro offered very little outside of his role on set-pieces. The midfielder did not have a single chance himself, but he did at least set up a few chances for his teammates. Until he can start providing more offense, Sturaro is a set-piece player only and offers little value.
JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andrea Cambiaso - Sent off against Udinese Canbiaso sent in one accurate cross, won one duel and was expelled in 24 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Udinese.
Impact Cambiaso came off the bench in this one and picked up two quick yellow cards for a harsh foul and for arguing the call. Silvan Hefti and Johan Vasquez might man the defensive flanks also in January 6th's road game against Roma.

Abdoulaye Toure - Unavailable against Udinese Toure did not make Genoa's squad list to face Udinese Saturday as he is in advanced talks to join Karagumruk, Il Secolo XIX reports.
Impact Toure has not been a regular after joining the team last summer and will likely complete the move in the next few days. With Valon Behrami recently leaving the team and Nicolo Rovella sidelined, Genoa will be rather short-handed in the midfield Saturday.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Paolo Ghiglione - Ruled out for Udinese tilt Ghiglione was omitted from Genoa's squad list for Saturday's game against Udinese.
Impact Ghiglione reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 in the lead-up of the previous game and has not cleared the protocol. Silvian Hefti and Andrea Cambiaso will be the top options on the right flank for this one too.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Leo Ostigard - Ruled out for Udinese match Ostigard did not make Genoa's squad list to face Udinese Saturday.
Impact Ostigard reportedly picked up an ailment during a midweek Coppa Italia game. Johan Vasquez is back from suspension for this one and could pair up with either Zinho Vanheusden or Mattia Bani, or both, in the back Saturday.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Maksimovic - Resumes practicing Maksimovic (thigh) trained with the rest of the group Friday, Secolo XIX reports.
Impact Maksimovic had not been seen in months, but he was available for the first session under new coach Alexander Blessin. Despite the development, it is not a guarantee he will be an option for Saturday's match against Udinese given that he has a long time on the shelf. He has also drawn interest from other teams.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Domenico Criscito - Will miss more time Criscito is nursing a significant calf injury and will try to recuperate during the break, Il Secolo XIX reports.
Impact Criscito will remain sidelined in Saturday's match against Udinese and will try to return in a couple of weeks. Johan Vasquez and Riccardo Calafiori could get the nod depending on which scheme the new coach picks.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolo Rovella - Ruled out for Udinese game Rovella will miss Saturday's match versus Udinese due to a minor thigh injury, Genoa informed.
Impact Rovella was pulled from the lineup for the previous game and, while the issue is not believed to be severe, it will force him to sit out the second match in a row. Manolo Portanova, Filippo Melegoni and Pablo Galdames have better chances of seeing decent minutes with Rovella sidelined, although only the first one carries some fantasy appeal.

Mattia Bani - Makes seven clearances off bench Bani made three tackles (one won), seven clearances and one interception during Monday's 6-0 loss against Fiorentina.
Impact Bani was brought at halftime as part of a triple substitution with his side already down three goals. Even with shorter playing time, the centre back once again racked up impressive numbers, which included a team-high seven clearances, being one of Genoa's few positives in such lopsided loss. With 38 clearances over his last four appearances, the centre back will hope to be back in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Udinese.
JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Milan Badelj - Makes six interceptions in loss Badelj had one off-target shot and made one tackle, one clearance, six interceptions and one block during Monday's 6-0 loss against Fiorentina.
Impact Badelj once again had a nice stat line playing in front of the defensive line, highlighted by a season-high six interceptions, but his numbers didn't prevent his side from being thrashed by the opposition. The defensive midfielder will try to help his side bouncing back during Sunday's home match against Udinese.
JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Salvatore Sirigu - Saves PK, concedes six in loss Sirigu made six saves, including a penalty, and conceded six goals during Monday's 6-0 loss against Fiorentina.
Impact Sirigu had a great start, stopping Dusan Vlahovic's penalty kick in the 11th minute with the match still scoreless. Then, things turned into a nightmare for the goalkeeper as the opposition found the back of the net three times each half. Clean sheets have been hard to come for Sirigu this season, but the high number of saves he usually makes provides him some fantasy upside for any matchup, which includes next Sunday's clash against Udinese.

Johan Vasquez - Will be back against Udinese Vasquez cleared his suspension in Monday's 0-6 loss to Fiorentina.
Impact Vasquez will resume being an option in Saturday's home game against Udinese and, given how the defense fared in the last match, he has good chances to start over Zinho Vanheusden or Leo Ostigard. He has recorded 47 tackles, 25 interceptions and 50 clearances in 14 appearances, with three clean sheets.

Nicolo Rovella - Late scratch Monday Rovella was a late scratch for Monday's match against Fiorentina because of thigh discomfort. Pablo Galdames replaced him in the starting XI.
Impact Rovella was recently back from a thigh injury and this was set to be his first start since Dec. 1. Unfortunately, it looks like he wasn't ready to return and may have to miss more time. Given this, it's hard to see him returning ahead of the international break with Galdames an option to start, as well as Manolo Portanova or Filippo Melegoni.

Nicolo Rovella - Starting against Fiorentina Rovella (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Fiorentina.
Impact Rovella looks to be fully recovered from his injury after going 45 minutes off the bench a week ago. He may not be ready for a full 90 following a month-long absence, but he's still the majority set-piece taker and that figures to give him some decent numbers against Fiorentina.
