Genoa tested with injury list
By: j | December 16th, 2008Through the first half of the Serie A campaign, Gian Piero Gasperini’s Rossoblu have been relatively untouched with injuries. While certainly not a clean slate, the lack of fitness woes has assisted greatly in their success and has played a part in their sixth place position to-date. All that is about to change as leading up to this weekends tilt against relegation-threatened Chievo Verona looks to test their bench depth significantly.
Of gravest concern is Matteo Ferrari who, per the club, is facing surgery on a abdominal hernia. While recovery will vary on this, depending upon the procedure, Matteo should not be counted on the lineup till the final weeks of January.
In addition to their stalwart defender, Gian Piero Gasperini will be missing Raffaele Palladino and Andrea Gasbarroni from the strike-force as well as Matteo Paro and Marcel Román. To complicate matters further Ivan Jurić, Rubén Olivera and Diego Milito, Il Principe are all questionable. Along with Omar Milanetto and Giuseppe Sculli in the sin-bin, the lineup will be stretched thin.
While much is still be decided with injury situations Boško Janković and Francesco Modesto are likely to loom large in the attack with an opportunity for young teen Stephen El Shaarawi as well.
