Nicolo Rovella - Picks up injury against Milan Rovella had four interceptions, won two of two tackles and sent in three inaccurate crosses in Wednesday's 0-3 loss to Milan and subbed off due to a muscular problem, coach Andriy...

Impact Rovella has started every game so far and is headed for some tests. The short turnaround surely does not play in his favor, as Genoa will face Juventus away Sunday. The next men up in the midfield are Hernani, Valon Behrami and Filippo Melegoni.

Yayah Kallon - Remains sidelined for Udinese match Kallon (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Udinese, Genoa announced.

Impact Kallon will skip the second game in a row due to a thigh injury that is reportedly not overly severe. Considering the several offensive absences, either Caleb Ekuban or Flavio Bianchi will partner Goran Pandev Sunday.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Bani was close to coming back for the previous match and is indeed available for this one. He has been out since early October due to two consecutive thigh injuries. He will try to unseat one of the defenders that featured in recent games. He has posted three tackles, seven interceptions and eight clearances in three matches.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Maksimovic - Out against Udinese Maksimovic (thigh) is not ready to return from his injury, coach Andriy Shevchenko stated.

Impact Maksimovic has been out since early October and will probably sit out some more games as he has yet to train fully after the injury and might need a ramp up before being available. Genoa recently recovered Zinho Vanheusden, while Davide Biraschi, Johan Vasquez and Andrea Masiello drew the start in the last game.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mohamed Fares - Ruled out for Udinese match Fares (calf) will not return Sunday versus Udinese, coach Andriy Shevchenko announced.

Impact Fares will miss the fifth game in a row due to a calf strain and has yet to resume practicing, therefore he is unlikely to be back for the following midweek game as well. Stefano Sabelli drew the start in the previous game, with Andrea Cambiaso moving to the left flank.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Destro - Remains sidelined Destro (thigh) has yet to resume practicing with the group, coach Andriy Shevchenko announced.

Hernani - Makes sub appearance versus Roma Hernani had one clearance and committed one foul in 27 minutes in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Roma.

Impact Hernani did not have a great impact on his first game back, but he was used in a very offensive position, which could give him some fantasy relevancy going forward. He has tallied two chances created, eight crosses and four tackles in five appearances (three starts). Genoa will face Udinese away Sunday.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Zinho Vanheusden - Unused against Roma Vanheusden (thigh) did not play in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Roma.

Impact Vanheusden was available after shaking off a significant injury, but the new coach stuck with the defenders that had featured in recent matches. He will try to challenge them ahead of Sunday's road game versus Udinese. He started in three of the first four games. He has recorded five tackles, seven interceptions and 14 clearances in five appearances, with no clean sheets.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Salvatore Sirigu - Allows two goals in loss Sirigu made two saves and made two saves in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Roma.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Zinho Vanheusden - Available versus Roma Vanheusden (thigh) was included in Genoa's squad list to face Roma Sunday.

Impact Vanheusden has been able to recuperate a significant injury he suffered in late September over the last two weeks. He will probably be eased into action given the extended absence. He has tallied five tackles, seven interceptions, 14 clearances and two blocks in five appearances (three starts).

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yayah Kallon - Ruled out Sunday Kallon (thigh) was not named in Genoa's squad list to face Roma Sunday.

Impact Kallon sustained a muscular injury earlier in the week and will sit out at least one game. Goran Pandev, Caleb Ekuban, Flavio Bianchi and Aleksander Buksa will be the top options for Genoa Sunday, as their two primary strikers, Mattia Destro and Felipe Caicedo, are sidelined.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Bani - Remains out versus Roma Bani (thigh) was not named in Genoa's squad list to face Roma Sunday.

Impact Bani reportedly resumed practicing regularly during the break, but he is not quite ready to play yet. Zinho Vanheusden is back from injury for this one and will join Davide Biraschi, Andrea Masiello and Johan Vasquez as the top defensive options.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Zinho Vanheusden - Late call for Roma clash Vanheusden (thigh) has resumed working with the rest of the group and might be available for Sunday's game versus Roma, Corriere dello Sport reports.

Impact Vanheusden has been out since late October due to a pair of injuries and has some chances to make his return in this one, but he has not been fully cleared yet. If he does, he will compete with Andrea Masiello, Johan Vasquez and Davide Biraschi.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Yayah Kallon - Questionable for Roma game Kallon picked up a muscular problem earlier in the week and is in doubt for Sunday's match versus Roma, Corriere dello Sport reports.

Impact Kallon has not been altogether ruled out by the coach or the club, but he was limited in practice in the lead-up of the match. He is poised to be a late call. With Mattia Destro and Felipe Caicedo on the mend, the next men up are Caleb Ekuban, Flavio Bianchi and Aleksander Buksa. Goran Pandev is expected to start.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Maksimovic - Will not be back versus Roma Maksimovic (thigh) will remain unavailable for Sunday's game against Roma, Tuttosport reports.

Impact Maksimovic is nursing a major thigh injury and has not resumed practicing fully during the break. He might miss further matches. With Domenico Criscito also out, Andrea Masiello, Johan Vasquez and Davide Biraschi should get the nod in the back in this one.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mohamed Fares - Still on the mend Fares (calf) has yet to resume training fully and is out for Sunday's game versus Roma, Tuttosport reports.

Impact Fares has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a calf strain and he is not quite ready yet. His absence has opened up minutes for Paolo Ghiglione and Stefano Sabelli, although it remains to be seen whether the new coach will change the scheme.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Destro - Will not return against Roma Destro (thigh) will remain sidelined for Sunday's game versus Roma, Il Secolo XIX reports.

Impact Destro suffered a thigh strain 20 days ago and needs more time to be ready. He has good chances to be back next week. Genoa will be very depleted up front since Felipe Caicedo is hurt and Yayah Kallon is in doubt. Caleb Ekuban, Flavio Bianchi and Aleksander Buksa will be in contention to start next to Goran Pandev.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Felipe Caicedo - Diagnosed with thigh injury Caicedo pulled the semitendinosus muscle in the right thigh, Genoa announced.

Impact Caicedo is back on the shelf with a thigh injury after sitting out multiple matches in the early going. He will probably skip two-to-three weeks. Mattia Destro is unlikely to be back for the Roma game, so it will be up to Caleb Ekuban or Flavio Bianchi to lead the frontline.
