Genoa inaugurated the new era of managers with the first day of work of François Modesto and Stefano Melissano at Villa Rostan. After the Sunday meeting with coach Daniele De Rossi, the two managers made an appointment with the team that will train at the Signorini pitch in preparation for Saturday evening's match at the Olimpico against Roma.
The visit is part of a context of restrictions for Ligurian fans: the prefect of Rome has prohibited access to the match to residents of Liguria for reasons of public order, based on the observations of the Casms. Only supporters not resident in Liguria who have a fan card will be able to purchase tickets for the away side of the Olimpico.
On the technical front, Genoa will arrive at the event with a considerable number of players recovering. Ehizibue and Otoa, both out with cramps during the match against Fiorentina, will have to wait for full recovery. The main focus remains on Amorim, who suffered a blow to the ankle during training and was already injured from the Italian Cup match against Sudtirol. The club hopes to see the midfielder back on the pitch before the match against Roma, while for Meichtry, barring sudden accelerations, they are still counting on his return for the clash with Venezia.
Other key players, such as Sow, are expected to return in the coming days, while Colombo remains out for next season until November. In the meantime, Modesto and Melissano will continue to work on the club structure and consolidate the team in view of the next challenges.
