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

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).

Impact Traore is set to join Genoa on loan with an option to buy on favorable terms for Marseille, a move that comes after a right adductor tear ended his season early and required surgery in Finland. He finished last season with two goals and one assist across 15 appearances in all competitions, and with his playing time limited by injuries and a lack of fit under the current setup, the switch to Italy will likely give him a fresh opportunity to rebuild his form in a league he knows well from his time at Sassuolo.

Two goal contributions in victory Traore scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Saturday's 5-2 victory over Angers.

The attacking midfielder has dealt with several injuries since the beginning of the season but is now set to contribute for Marseille and could see decent playing time in the frontline, although he faces competition from Igor Paixao for a starting role.

He was substituted in the 86th minute due to cramps, just before the decisive goal. The Ivorian registered two shots, six crosses and four corners as he handled set-pieces himself.

Signs with Marseille Traore has signed a contract with Marseille, joining on a permanent move from Bournemouth, his new club announced.
