Squad

A fracture rules Johan Felipe Vásquez out for 86 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Genoa will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Cup progress for Genoa

A 1‑0 win over Gubbio, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Justin Bijlow

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Morten Frendrup wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Genoa hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Tempers go at Genoa

Morten Frendrup was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Alessandro Marcandalli

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 22 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Lorenzo Colombo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Genoa come up short against AC Milan

AC Milan left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Maxwel Cornet

A mark of 7.87, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Justin Bijlow

There were 14 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Leo Østigård raises the bar for Genoa

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Genoa heard it as anything else.

Squad

Morten Frendrup in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Genoa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Vitinha scored one and made one — 7.72

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.72, and 2 involvements.

Match

Genoa see off Fiorentina

Three points for Genoa, 2‑1 the final word against Fiorentina in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

Eyes on Franz-Ethan Meichtry again

The phone has started ringing about Franz-Ethan Meichtry again, and this time the name on the line is Bologna. Genoa are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings

Morten Frendrup was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.06. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Justin Bijlow wants out of the spotlight

The ambition story running the other way, and the one nobody tells: a footballer asking for a smaller stage, fewer cameras and a crowd that does not turn. It is not weakness and it is very rarely reported as anything else.

Squad

Maxwel Cornet gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
