Good news for Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino who, at the resumption of training ahead of next Friday's match against Sassuolo in Reggio Emilia, has Kevin Strootman back.
The Dutch midfielder has been training regularly with his teammates and will therefore be available for the trip to Emilia Romagna. There is also a sigh of relief for Junior Messias, the muscle injury that forced him out at the end of the match against Juventus is less serious than expected, a slight distraction, and he will only miss the next game while against Inter in the last match of 2023 he should be available again.
Retegui's recovery is longer, as he is sure to be absent next Friday and is still doubtful for the match against the Nerazzurri.
Meanwhile, a crowd for Strootman, Bani and Sabelli guests at the Genoa Store in the center of Genoa. Between selfies and autographs, the three players were celebrated by hundreds of fans.
"Sassuolo? Definitely a strong opponent because in any case he has been playing in Serie A with strong players for many years," said Sabelli. And they have a very good coach with a strong club behind them. It's going to be a tough game."
