KEVIN STROOTMAN NEWS

Strong on both ends in Lecce game Strootman won four of five tackles and five duels and had two crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Lecce.

Impact Strootman anchored the midfield due to a pair of suspensions and looked the part. He hasn't always been a regular when they are whole. He has started in three of his last five appearances, notching four chances created, eight tackles (five won), and four crosses (two accurate).

Good to go for Torino clash Strootman (illness) will be available Saturday versus Torino, coach Alberto Gilardino informed.

Impact Strootman will make a quick return after dealing with the flu and might make the XI since Ruslan Malinovskyi isn't 100 percent. He has tallied seven chances created, seven crosses (three accurate), and eight tackles (four won) in his last five appearances (four starts).

Ruled out for Bologna game Strootman will miss Friday's match versus Bologna due to the flu, Genoa announced.

Impact Strootman is under the weather and will leave the midfield short-handed since Morten Thorsby is absent as well. Milan Badelj, Morten Frendrup, and Ruslan Malinovskyi are the frontrunners to start, with Berkan Kutlu and Pablo Galdames as the deputies.

Wins one tackle in Sassuolo game Strootman (thigh) drew one foul, won one of two tackles, and had nine passes in 16 minutes in Friday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Strootman made a cameo after sitting out three weeks with a thigh strain, replacing Milan Badelj late in the game. He might have a more limited role with Genoa switching to more offensive options in the midfield, primarily Ruslan Malinovskyi, as of late. He has recorded six chances created, six crosses (three accurate), and nine tackles (five won) in his last five appearances.

On bench Friday Strootman (thigh) is on the bench for Friday's match against Sassuolo.

Impact Strootman is returning to play after a three-match absence due to a thigh injury, lining up on the bench for Friday's contest. The midfielder will hope to return to the starting XI soon, as he usually has held that role when healthy, but unfortunately, he has dealt with multiple injuries this season, leaving him out for six matches combined between the two injuries.

Returning in Sassuolo match Strootman (thigh) "is available for Friday's game versus Sassuolo but doesn't have 90 minutes in him," coach Alberto Gilardino informed.

Impact Strootman is fit after sitting three games due to a thigh strain and will most likely be eased into action. Genoa aren't whole in the midfield sans Junior Messias, plus Ruslan Malinovskyi could play more offensively without Mateo Retegui. His return will impact especially Morten Thorsby's and Berkan Kutlu's game-time. He has tallied six chances created, six crosses (three accurate), and seven tackles in his last four appearances.

Diagnosed with thigh injury Strootman suffered a biceps femoris distraction in the right thigh against Frosinone and will miss about 20 days, Ansa reported.

Off early against Frosinone Strootman (undisclosed) was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match against Frosinone with an injury.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in return against Salernitana Strootman (thigh) registered one tackle (zero won) and one successful duel in 31 minutes in Friday's 1-0 win over Salernitana.

Impact Strootman worked his way back from an injury but didn't do much. He generally contributes mostly defensively. He'll rotate with Ruslan Malinovskyi, Milan Badelj, Morten Frendrup, and Morten Thorsby from here on out.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Strootman (thigh) is on the bench for Friday's match against Salernitana.

Impact Strootman looks to be fully healthy again after making the bench for Friday's match. The midfielder has missed the previous three games with a thigh issue, forfeiting his starting spot after starting in five straight matches before his knock. He will most likely get some minutes late into Friday's contest and will compete for a starting spot in his next match.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Salernitana Strootman (thigh) will be an option against Salernitana Friday, coach Alberto Gilardino relayed.

Impact Strootman has shaken off a thigh lesion that cost him three matches. While he started every game while healthy, he'll probably be reintroduced slowly, as Genoa did with his teammates after injuries. His return could impact Morten Thorsby and Ruslan Malinovskyi's minutes. He has assisted twice and posted six chances created, 13 tackles, and seven clerances in five appearances.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Atalanta game Strootman (thigh) "is out against Atalanta, but I hope to have him back next week," coach Alberto GIlardino relayed.

Impact Strootman is close to full healthy but is not quite ready yet. Milan Badelj will return from his injury, joining Morten Frendrup, Morten Thorsby, and Ruslan Malinovskyi as the top options in the midfield.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved for Inter bout Strootman (thigh) won't return Saturday versus Inter, TeleNord informs.

Impact Strootman hasn't shaken off a thigh problem but should do so during the upcoming break, as it's not significant. Morten Thorsby, Ruslan Malinovskyi, and Berkan Kutlu are the next men up in the midfield, which also won't have Milan Badelj.

OCTOBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out versus Udinese Strootman (thigh) will be evaluated in the next few days, coach Alberto Gilardino announced.

Impact Strootman left the last game very early and risks a multi-week absence. Morten Thorsby and Berkan Kutlu might both start since he and Milan Badelj are both on the mend.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brought off against Roma Strootman was forced off in the first half of Thursday's clash with Roma.

Impact Strootman was forced off early during Thursday's clash, an especially major concern with Milan Badelj also being forced off early during the match. Berkan Kutlu came on for Strootman, and could see a larger role while Strootman is on the sideline.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Decent two-way showing in loss Strootman registered one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 loss to Lecce.

Impact Strootman created one chance but had a much bigger impact on the defensive end in what was a tense match. He made five tackles (three won) as well as three clearances and two blocks.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists for Genoa Strootman assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Strootman has started the last three games for Genoa but has yet to pull a full match for the team. His attacking output today was crucial along with his two tackles, one clearance and one block and he will likely have his minutes closely monitored the rest of the season due to his importance and his age.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wins two tackles versus Lazio Strootman had five tackles (two won), three clearances, and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Lazio.

Impact Strootman made the XI after missing the opener due to a suspension and formed a stout belt in the midfield along with Milan Badelj, perfectly shielding the defense. The solution will likely be used again since it worked out well.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Clears disqualification Strootman will return in Sunday's away game against Lazio after a one-game suspension.

Impact Strootman will be an option in the midfield especially after Genoa looked extremely porous in the opener. He might unseat either Morten Frendup or Milan Badelj, while newcomer Morten Thorsby's playing time should be steady regardless.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended for opener Strootman won't be available for the Fiorentina game due to disqualification.

Impact Strootman will have to sit out one game due to yellow-card accumulation. Mattia Aramu and Morten Frendrup are the likeliest candidates to take his place in the midfield.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Genoa permanently Strootman has officially agreed to a contract with Genoa after departing Olympique Marseille at the end of his deal.

Impact Strootman will spend the second season in a row at Genoa, but he was on loan in the past one in Serie B, where he scored twice in 30 appearances and was a linchpin. Whether he'll retain such a role hinges on their ulterior additions in the midfield. He logged eight tackles, ten interceptions, 13 clearances, and three key passes in ten matches with Cagliari in his most recent turn in the top flight.

Unused versus Verona Strootman (knee) did not feature in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Genoa.

Impact Strootman was available for the first time in months, but it will likely take him some time before seeing decent minutes. He has logged three chances, eight tackles, ten interceptions and 13 clearances in ten appearances (seven starts). Cagliari will host Verona Saturday.

Progressing from injury Strootman (knee) was a full-go in training Saturday, Cagliari announced.

Impact Strootman was seen as a long-shot to return this season as he has been out since mid-December following a knee clean-up surgery, but he has improved this week and could be part of the squad list for Sunday's match versus Genoa, although he is unlikely to see decent minutes for a while.
