The worst moment of the Gilardino era for a Genoa team returning from one point in three games and the elimination on penalties in the Italian Cup by Sampdoria. But as Gilardino himself said in the post derby, the time for “bitterness and sadness” is already over. Tomorrow Juventus arrives at Ferraris and the coach has to deal with some important absences.

Starting from that of Malinovskyi, he underlines in this sense Tuttosportwho will weigh until the second part of the season but above all will have to manage the withdrawals of Ekuban, a muscle injury expected upon his return after the break, and of Messias who, when he was recovering from a previous muscular problem, suffered a calf strain before the derby which has excluded him from the derby and will not allow him to take the field tomorrow.
To complete the picture – he concludes Tuttosport – also Norton-Cuffy, the English winger who arrived from Tottenham, who is training in a group but who lacks minutes in his legs. Upon his arrival, the Englishman underwent foot surgery for a congenital problem and until now has never been called up by the coach.
