Aaron Martin - Sends in five crosses in Inter bout Martin had five crosses (two accurate), two clearances and one corner and created one scoring chance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Inter Milan.

Impact Martin returned to the XI after two games as Brooke Norton-Cuffy (thigh) was missing and led his team in deliveries, but he wasn't too accurate: He'll likely have to fight for minutes going forward, as the coach seems to have soured on him a little. He has recorded multiple crosses in every seasonal appearance, averaging 6.82 (2.55 accurate). He has logged five key passes, nine corners and five clearances in his last five outings.

Malinovskyi has tallied at least one cross in seven tilts in a row, accumulating 16 deliveries (one accurate), scoring three goals and posting 11 shots (five on target) and six key passes over that span. Instead, he didn't record a tackle after notching multiple ones in all the previous four rounds.

Mikael Ellertsson - Shows well in Inter clash Ellertsson won two of three tackles and registered three shots (one on goal), one interception and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan.

Impact Ellertsson put up decent numbers in both phases while manning the right wing sans Brooke Norton-Cuffy (thigh). He'll duke it out with Aaron Martin once the teammate returns, but he has started in eight straight matches, thanks to his versatility. He has posted at least one shot, totaling eight attempts (one on target), and one tackle, racking up eight (six won) in five matches in a row, adding three chances created, five crosses (zero accurate) and eight clerances over that span.

He was coming off back-to-back clean sheets. He has surrendered 10 goals and made 20 saves in six matches since joining. Up next, Genoa will face Verona away next Sunday.

Brooke Norton-Cuffy - Questionable for Inter tilt Norton-Cuffy (thigh) isn't dealing with a major issue but might miss Sunday's game versus Inter, Il Secolo XIX reported.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Johan Vasquez - Active on both ends versus Torino Vasquez had two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and six clearances in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Torino.

He has logged multiple clearances in nine games in a row, piling up 44 and adding 11 interceptions and 11 blocks, with four clean sheets in that stretch. Instead, his streak of performances with at least one tackle stopped at six.

Junior Messias - Closes Torino contest late Messias scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), one tackle (zero won) and one chance created in 25 minutes in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Torino.

He has fired at least one shot in five straight fixtures, amassing eight attempts (four on target), scoring twice and posting two chances created and six crosses (one accurate) over that span.

Impact Norton-Cuffy bagged his second goal of the season as he was the quickest to react to a loose ball in the box following a save by the opposing goalie, firing it home, but he felt something in the back of his thigh on a shot in the second half and was unable to continue. He's poised to be examined ahead of Saturday's game versus Inter. Aaron Martin or Stefano Sabelli would take his place in the XI if he were unavailable.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Otoa - Picks up ankle injury Otoa will miss Sunday's fixture versus Torino because of an ankle problem, Genoa announced.

Impact Otoa will be re-evaluated ahead of the ensuing contests, although he was a late call for this one, so the problem might not be too severe. He has been the top defensive deputy lately, but hasn't been needed and has played just once in the last six rounds. Nils Zatterstrom will be bumped up in the hierarchy without Otoa.
