Justin Bijlow - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Renews contract with Genoa Bijlow has agreed to an extension until 2029, Genoa announced.

Impact Bijlow would have become a free agent without a new pact, as he came in with a short-term contract in January. He quickly took over between the sticks, surrendering 20 goals, making 45 saves and keeping five clean sheets in 16 appearances. He'll remain the starter next season.

Four saves in defeat Bijlow had four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to AC Milan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 48th minute.

Impact Bijlow delivered several key saves in Sunday's 1-2 defeat to AC Milan, producing his best stop in the first half when he reacted sharply to his right to palm away Youssouf Fofana's effort after a corner had fallen loose inside the box. The Dutch goalkeeper was beaten by Christopher Nkunku from the penalty spot and by Zachary Athekame's powerful long-range strike, with neither effort giving him much chance to intervene. Bijlow has now made 45 saves, conceded 20 goals and kept five clean sheets across 16 Serie A appearances this season, and he will look to bounce back in the final match of the campaign against Lecce.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Easy clean sheet Bijlow recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Fiorentina.

Impact Bijlow didn't face a shot on goal during Sunday's draw, sitting back and enjoying the clean sheet. The team in front of him didn't do enough to get Bijlow the win, but it was about the easiest clean sheet he could hope for. Bijlow has a tougher test with Milan to take on next in Serie A.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

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

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.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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

He remains at only three clean sheets in 11 appearances this season, set to face Pisa next time out.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two goals in Juventus clash Bijlow recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 2-0 defeat against Juventus.

Impact Bijlow could do little on two close-range attempts by Gleison Bremer and Francisco Conceicao, as his defense was overwhelmed early, but he prevented the score from getting out of hand afterward. He has secured one clean sheet in five rounds, making seven saves and giving up 10 goals. Up next, Genoa will face Sassuolo at home Sunday.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Beaten twice in loss Bijlow had two saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-0 loss to Udinese.

Impact Bijlow was beaten twice and made only two comfortable saves from distance on the night.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up three goals in Napoli clash Bijlow made two saves and two clearances and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Napoli.

Impact Bijlow was beaten multiple times for the third match in a row and could have perhaps done a little more only on the first one, as he turned away a robust effort a little too centrally. He guessed right on a last-second penalty kick but couldn't keep it off the line. He has made six saves and surrendered eight goals since moving to Serie A. Genoa will face Cremonese away next Sunday in the next round.

He's expected to remain the first-choice option over Nicola Leali for the rest of the campaign, in which case he could aim for better results as part of a team that had allowed less than two goals in four straight games before the last one. Up next is a road meeting with Lazio's 14th-ranked attack.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

He allowed 14 goals and kept eight clean sheets in 17 matches in 2023/2024 before getting hurt. He's expected to eventually supplant Nicola Leali, who might man the sticks for a couple more matches while his new teammate adjusts to his new surroundings.

Out for long time Bijlow will be sidelined for several months after sustaining a knee injury against Lille in the UEFA Champions League on Jan. 29, the club announced.

Impact The extent of the injury wasn't fully revealed, but given the timeline of recovery, it wouldn't be surprising if Bijlow doesn't return before the end of the 2024/25 campaign. That means Thomas Beelen is likely to be the starting goalkeeper for Feyenoord moving forward.
