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

Ruled out for Roma match Hernani (COVID-19) was omitted from Genoa's traveling party for Saturday's game against Roma.
Impact Hernani has reportedly shaken off COVID-19, but he is probably not in tip-top shape yet, and he does not have a meaningful role to begin with. Milan Badelj, Stefano Sturaro, Filippo Melegoni and Morten Frendrup will be the top options in the midfield Saturday.

Impact Hernani is considered doubtful for Monday's fixture and, while he is not a regular starter, his absence would leave the midfield short-handed since Nicolo Rovella is in the same situation. The next men up, on top of Milan Badelj and Stefano Sturaro, are Manolo Portanova, Filippo Melegoni and Pablo Galdames.
JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Wins two tackles versus Juventus Hernani had one block and one interception and won six duels and two of four tackles in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Juventus.
