Genoa midfielder Samuel Wiafe has received a sigh of relief after recent concerns over a possible injury. The young player, born in 2008 and arrived in the city in the last transfer window, had to leave the pitch during the last championship match against Venezia, when Daniele DeRossi's team prevailed with a solid 3‑1. The muscle pain, which had prompted the coach to replace him in the second half, had been attributed to a strain in the right adductor.
During the break, DeRossi expressed doubts about the nature of the problem, saying that "it's not clear whether it's cramps or something more serious." However, he underlined that, at the moment, it is not possible to make a definitive diagnosis and that the situation may not affect the future of the team, especially considering the next match against Luciano Spalletti's Juventus. The coach also highlighted that the presence of other scheduled competitions, including Sunday's match against Lecce, could require prudent management of the player.
The news was confirmed by instrumental tests carried out the previous day, which did not reveal any lesions. Despite this, the final decision on Wiafe's call-up remains pending, with hopes that the youngster will be able to return to action soon. The midfielder, who has shown great potential so far, has been included in the Genoa squad with the aim of contributing to the team's success in the current season.
The club then closed the loop on Wiafe's situation, reassuring fans and officials that the player did not suffer any serious injuries. With the next match against Juventus scheduled, Genoa will be able to concentrate on tactical preparation, while the midfielder remains under observation for any future interventions. The team, already recovering after the victory against Venezia, is preparing to face the upcoming challenges with the hope of maintaining competitiveness in Serie A.
