Sebastian Otoa - Will sit out Fiorentina match Otoa hasn't been called up for Sunday's game versus Fiorentina.

Brooke Norton-Cuffy - Goes backward in recovery Norton Cuffy (thigh) "won't be called up for Sunday's clash with Fiorentina, as he's not yet capable of pushing without discomfort," coach Daniele De Rossi announced.

Impact Norton-Cuffy will continue to miss time, as he suffered a relapse of his problem just as he was on the verge of coming back. Stefano Sabelli, Aaron Martin and Mikael Egill Ellertsson will keep taking care of the wings for the most part.

Crisis at AC Milan? Massimiliano Allegri holds intense emergency meeting with squad as Champions League qualification hopes fade

Junior Messias - Will miss final matches Messias announced on Instagram that his season has been cut short by a muscular injury.

Impact Messias suffered an adductor problem in his recent cameo versus Atalanta, even though he managed to finish the game, and will need about a month to recover, Tuttomercatoweb reported. He has been a rotational piece for most of the campaign, scoring three goals, providing one assist and tallying 19 shots (seven on target) and 16 crosses (three accurate) in 20 games (five starts). Vitinha, Jeff Ekhator and Tommaso Baldanzi (thigh), once healthy, will pick up the slack. The club will have a decision to make about his future, as his contract is expiring.

Morten Frendrup - Steps up defensively versus Atalanta Frendrup had three tackles (three won), five clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Frendrup only contributed in the back but put up good numbers, and his side secured an impressive clean sheet. He has recorded at least one tackle in 25 straight appearances, amassing 67 (45 won). Furthermore, he has registered one or more clearances in his last four showings, piling up 10 and adding three key passes, three interceptions and two blocks over that span.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Colombo - Decent outing in Atalanta game Colombo registered three shots (one on goal) and two chances created and drew one foul in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Colombo was pretty much the lone Genoa attacker who had a passable performance because of a negative game plan in this one, leading his team in attempts and key passes. He quickly returned to the XI after coming off the bench last week, as the coach is starting to give minutes to underutilized players. He has scored once and added 10 shots (six on target), two chances created and one cross (zero accurate) in the last five rounds.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Ostigard - Fills stat sheet against Atalanta Ostigard won two of three tackles and had 12 clearances, four interceptions and two blocks in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Atalanta.

Impact Ostigard put up impressive numbers while quarterbacking the Genoa rearguard, setting a new season high in interceptions. He has logged multiple clearances in five fixtures on the trot, totaling 34, adding seven tackles (five won), 10 interceptions and three blocks and helping secure one clean sheet over that span.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Johan Vasquez - Good display in Atalanta bout Vasquez won one of three tackels and had five clearances, two blocks and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Atalanta.

Impact Vasquez led a staunch defensive effort in a difficult match-up and put up numbers across the board in the back. He has tallied at least one clearance in the last nine rounds, totaling 17, and one or more tackles in the past seven, racking up 19 (12 won), with two clean sheets during that stretch. Additionally, this marked his third performance in a row with multiple clearances (14 total).

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Alessandro Marcandalli - Solid in Atalanta contest Marcandalli won three of three tackles and recorded one cross (one accurate), one chance created and two clearances in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Atalanta.

Impact Marcandelli was on point in the back and contributed to stopping the opponents, although other Genoa defenders had busier stat lines. He has notched multiple clearances in the last four games, amassing 11 and adding two crosses (both accurate) and four interceptions during that stretch, with one clean sheet. Additionally, this marked his third straight fixtures with one or more tackles, for a total of seven (five won).

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Ekuban - Wins one tackle in Atalanta match Ekuban (thigh) drew one foul and had one tackle (one won) in 34 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Atalanta.

Impact Ekuban saw decent playing time off the bench but didn't pick up stats on the offensive end. He'll try to challenge Vitinha, Jeff Ekhator and Lorenzo Colombo, who all started in this one, in the last three matches. He has scored once and posted two shots (two on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle (one won) in his last five cameos.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Bijlow - Excels in Atalanta fixture Bijlow (calf) had seven saves and two clearances and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Bijlow didn't miss time as expected and wasn't affected by a recent small injury, batting away several threatening attempts and recording his second-highest number of saves since moving to Serie A. He hadn't blanked the opponents in six tilts, making 20 saves and three clearances and allowing seven goals over that span. Up next, Genoa will face Fiorentina at home next Sunday.

Napoli held 0-0 at Champions League-chasing Como in Serie A

Defending champion Napoli was held to a 0-0 draw at Champions League-chasing Como in a result that could help Inter Milan clinch the Serie A title

MAY 2 • Associated Press

Justin Bijlow - Makes starting XI Bijlow (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Atalanta.

Impact Bijlow retained his place between the posts after the encouraging exam results that followed his early substitution last week, with his ability to practice regularly in the aftermath giving the coaching staff enough confidence to hand him a starting role. The goalkeeper has made 13 saves across his last five appearances, though he has yet to keep a clean sheet during that run while conceding seven goals, and his continued availability spares the side from having to turn to a backup option at a critical stage of the season.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Brooke Norton-Cuffy - Stays out on Saturday Norton-Cuffy (thigh) hasn't been selected for Saturday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Norton-Cuffy will skip another match even though the coach had announced his return in this one. Mikael Egill Ellertsson, Stefano Sabelli and Aaron Martin will continue to handle the wings in relief.

Justin Bijlow - Should be fine for Atalanta clash Bijlow (calf) will likely remain in the XI against Atalanta on Saturday, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Bijlow subbed off early last week, but the results of the exams were encouraging, and he's been able to practice regularly afterward. He hasn't kept a clean sheet in five appearances, making 13 saves and allowing seven goals.

ATALANTA-GENOA 5-1 | CLASSIC HIGHLIGHTS SERIE A 2024/25

APRIL 30 • YOUTUBE

Brooke Norton-Cuffy - Fit for Atalanta clash Norton-Cuffy (thigh) "will be available but won't start against Atalanta on Satuday," coach Daniele De Rossi relayed.

Impact Norton-Cuffy has recovered from a thigh problem that cost him the last four matches, but will be eased into action to avoid a relapse. Stefano Sabelli and Aaron Martin have absorbed his minutes in recent matches. Norton-Cuffy has logged at least one tackle in his last five appearances (all starts), totaling eight (five won) and notching seven shots (three on target), seven key passes and 18 crosses (seven accurate) over that span.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Tommaso Baldanzi - Will stay out against Atalanta Baldanzi (thigh) "won't return versus Atalanta on Saturday," coach Daniele De Rossi stated.

Impact Baldanzi will skip his second consecutive contest because of a muscular problem. The gaffer changed the scheme and added an extra defender, Sebastian Otoa, in the previous round. Junior Messias, Patrizio Masini and Amorim could benefit in the midfield.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Ekuban - Good to go for Atalanta tilt Ekuban (undisclosed) "has practiced with us for the past two days and is fit for Saturday," coach Daniele De Rossi stated.

Impact Ekuban will make a quick return after sitting out one match due to muscular discomfort and will split minutes with Vitinha, Jeff Ekhator and Loreno Colombo in the two-man front-line. He has been deployed as a sub in his last four appearances, scoring once and adding two shots (two on target) and one cross (zero accurate).

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Bijlow - Avoids significant issues Bijlow left the last game due to a calf injury, but the tests ruled out relevant problems, Genoa announced.

Impact Bijlow bowed out early because of some discomfort, but he's not dealing with anything more than that, and he could recover in time for Saturday's away game versus Atalanta. Otherwise, Nicola Leali would take his place between the sticks.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Maxwel Cornet - Inserted late against Como Cornet (thigh) had one key pass, one tackle (one won) and one cross (zero won) in nine minutes in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Como.

Impact Cornet made a brief cameo in his return from a four-game absence. His minutes could increase if he avoids setbacks and Tommaso Baldanzi and Caleb Ekuban remain unavailable due to their thigh injuries. He stretched his streak of outings with at least one cross to six, totaling eight (one accurate) and adding four key passes, two shots (zero won) and six tackles (four won) over that span.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Nicola Leali - No saves in defeat Leali had no saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Como.

Impact Leali came on at halftime to replace an injured Justin Bijlow in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Como, entering the match already trailing and immediately facing pressure from a visiting attack looking to put the game to bed. Leali has recorded 55 saves, conceded 26 goals and kept four clean sheets in 21 appearances this season, with the injury to his Dutch teammate raising questions over who will start in goal for the final four matches of Genoa's campaign as they look to avoid a relegation battle. He will face Atalanta next Saturday.
