He has played a lot throughout the season due to Moise Kean's injury woes, but he still produced a lot less compared to his previous campaign at Cagliari, registering four goals, one assist, 47 shots (15 on target) and 15 chances created in 32 showings (16 starts).

Set to be back versus Genoa Piccoli (thigh) is on track to be selected for Sunday's match against Genoa, La Nazione reported.

Piccoli has scored and assisted once in his last five showings, adding three shots (one on target), three chances created and six clearances.

He and Moise Kean played together in the final portion of the game, so he might not necessarily take a big hit with the teammate returning from injury. He has notched at least one shot in the last three fixtures, amassing 10 (three on target) and posting one goal, one key pass and two crosses (one accurate) in that stretch.
