Elias Havel - Absent for Como fixture Havel (thigh) hasn't been selected for Friday's match versus Como.

Impact Havel made the trip to Lecce after missing the opener but wasn't used and has remained limited in training afterward. He'll be re-evaluated ahead of next Saturday's clash with Frosinone. He projects to be one of the top offensive deputies in the early going after joining this summer.

Kingsley Ehizibue - Joins Genoa Ehizibue has agreed to a multi-year contract with Genoa, the team announced.

Impact Ehizibue has been a free agent since June after failing to come to terms with Udinese despite being a regular and tallying 32 crosses (four accurate), 39 tackles and 51 clearances in 32 games (20 starts) last season, scoring once. He'll help replace Brooke Norton-Cuffy alongside Cody Drameh, Mario Mitaj and Stephan El Shaarawy.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Venturino - Not expected back soon Venturino (knee) "will likely need a couple of months to be ready to play," coach Daniele De Rossi relayed.

Impact Venturino has been recovering from knee surgery for a while, and the problem is more severe than originally thought. The situation likely contributed to the fact that he stayed at Genoa following a loan spell at Roma, where he didn't play very frequently.

Stephan El Shaarawy - Returns to Genoa El Shaarawy has agreed to a contract with Genoa.

Impact El Shaarawy spent the summer as a free agent after his deal with Roma and is returning to one of his very first clubs. He registered two goals and two assists, adding 30 shots (13 on target), 18 chances created and 27 crosses (three accurate) in 27 games (eight starts) in 2025/2026, as he generally has a small role. He'll be able to play either as a no.10 or on the left wing, contributing to replacing Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Cody Drameh - Traded to Genoa Drameh is moving to Genoa in a swap involving Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

Impact Drameh racked up 23 appearances (16 starts) in the Championship last year, assisting once and notching 10 chances created, 27 crosses (three accurate) and 43 tackles. He'll get decent opportunities since he'll help replace a fixture, but Mario Mitaj will also be an option, and Genoa could make further additions.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Elias Havel - Doesn't feature in Lazio tilt Havel (thigh) didn't get minutes in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Lazio.

Impact Havel recovered from a minor thigh issue, but he'll have to wait to make his Genoa debut, considering also the competition coming from more established strikers, even though he was productive during his time with TSV Hartberg.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Hamed Junior Traore - DNP in Lazio contest Traore (thigh) wasn't fielded in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Lazio.

Impact Traore made just a token appearance on the bench, as he's not completely recovered from his thigh issue. It shouldn't be long before he starts seeing some minutes, but Genoa are fairly deep in his role, and he has been sidelined for multiple months.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Ostigard - Logs six clearances versus Lazio Ostigard (undisclosed) won one tackle and had one interception, six clearances and three blocks in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Lazio.

Impact Ostigard saw full minutes after leaving early last week, putting together a respectable performance and stat line, but Genoa conceded once. He has notched at least three clearances and one block in the first two matches, totaling nine and four, respectively, and posting three tackles (all won) and three interceptions, with no clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Bijlow - Allows game's only goal Bijlow registered one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Lazio.

Impact Bijlow only made one save and unfortunately, also conceded the game's only goal in a 1-0 loss for Genoa. The tests keep coming as the goalkeeper will now face a Como side which tallied 65 goals in Serie A a year ago and has logged three in two matches this season.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Ostigard - Starting right away Ostigard (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's clash with Lazio.

Impact Ostigard was only dealing with cramps after his forced substitution in the previous game, so he should be ready to rack up most minutes in the second Serie A game of the season. He's expected to feature as part of a back three alongside Johan Vasquez and Alessandro Marcandalli and could be reliable for defensive stats, having posted three clearances, two interceptions and two tackles in his opening performance.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Hamed Junior Traore - Selected for Lazio game Traore (thigh) has been named in Genoa's squad list to face Lazio on Sunday.

Impact Traore is available for the first time this season after dealing with a thigh injury for months, but he's unlikely to see a lot of minutes early, as he has trained fully only a couple of times so far. He scored twice and assisted once in 15 matches with Olympique Marseille last year, adding 14 shots (six on target), 12 chances created and 33 crosses (five accurate).

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Lazio vs Genoa Prediction and Betting Tips | August 30th 2026 The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Lazio and Genoa square off at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.

AUGUST 29 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Leo Ostigard - Good to go for Lazio clash Ostigard (undisclosed) wasn't listed among the players who would miss Sunday's game versus Lazio by coach Daniele De Rossi.

Impact Ostigard has reportedly had a good week of training after dealing with cramps pretty early against Napoli and should be able to start Sunday. He registered three clearances, two interceptions and two tackles (both won) in 66 minutes before bowing out.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Elias Havel - Still missing versus Lazio Havel (thigh) "won't be selected for Sunday," coach Daniele De Rossi announced.

Impact Havel needs more time to recuperate from his thigh injury and will skip the second fixture in a row. Genoa recently onboarded Milutin Osmajic to join Vitinha and Lorenzo Colombo in their frontline.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Milutin Osmajic - Joins Genoa Osmajic is moving to Genoa on a permanent signing from Preston North End.

Impact Osmajic played in the Championship in the last three campaigns and notched eight goals, one assist, 29 shots and eight chances created in 28 matches (20 starts) in the most recent one. He'll offer a more physical alternative to Lorenzo Colombo and Vitinha up front following a couple of departures.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Vítor Carvalho - Underwhelming in Napoli clash Vitinha recorded three shots (one on goal), one tackle (one won) and one cross (zero accurate) and drew one foul in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Vitinha supported Leonardo Colombo alongside Tommaso Baldanzi but had limited opportunities to do damage, and his efforts weren't too menacing. He faces less competition than last year due to the departures of Jeff Ekhator and Caleb Ekuban. He notched five goals, 65 shots (20 on target) and 66 crosses (14 accurate) in 35 games (28 starts) in 2025/2026.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Brooke Norton-Cuffy - Passable display against Napoli Norton-Cuffy generated four crosses (zero accurate), four clearances and one block and created one scoring chance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Napoli.

Impact Norton-Cuffy brought the usual juice on the right flank and one of the top crosses for his side, but he wasn't on point in that respect. He has been linked to a few sides, but that didn't affect his minutes in the opener. He posted 81 crosses (19 on target), 43 tackles and 39 clearances in 27 matches last year, scoring twice and assisting once.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Mikael Ellertsson - Workmanlike in Napoli fixture Ellertsson won two of two tackles and had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Napoli.

Impact Ellertsson took care of the left wing and was productive on both ends, co-leading his side in crosses, but he wasn't precise with his deliveries. He'll likely continue to be a regular thanks to his solidity and versatility. He scored and assisted once in 2025/2026, adding 16 key passes, 32 crosses (seven accurate) and 44 tackles.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Tommaso Baldanzi - Quality outing in Napoli match Baldanzi recorded four shots (zero on goal) and two clearances and completed 28 passes in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Napoli.

Impact Baldanzi was the most sprightly man for his team, which didn't muster much offense against a big team, pacing it in attempts, but all his efforts were wide. He was replaced by Junior Messias in the second half. He'll likely retain a significant role until Hamed Traore (thigh) is fully ready to go.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Ostigard - Leaves late against Napoli Ostigard had one block, three clearances and two interceptions and won two of two tackles in 66 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Napoli before exiting due to a physical probl...

Impact Ostigard had an excellent showing in the back, blanketing Rasmus Hojlund, and his absence was felt after the sub, as Genoa hadn't conceded until that point. He'll have a week to recover for Sunday's clash with Lazio; otherwise, Sebastian Otoa will get the nod.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Bijlow - Gives up two goals against Napoli Bijlow made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Napoli.

Impact Bijlow was beaten by two close-range finishes by unguarded opponents, Kevin De Bruyne and Antonio Vergara, in the final minutes of the game, while he had just one solid save beforehand. He blanked the opponents five times, surrendered 20 goals and made 45 saves in 16 starts since joining in January last season. Up next, Genoa will face Lazio away next Sunday.
