Genoa confirm defender Davide Biraschi has dislocated his shoulder and is out of Thursday’s Coppa Italia derby with Sampdoria.

Biraschi fell awkwardly during Sunday’s 1-0 Serie A defeat away to Udinese.

Medical staff popped the shoulder back into its joint on the pitch, but he will see a specialist on Thursday to identify any further damage.

His right shoulder was dislocated and it remains to be seen if he requires surgery or special strapping.
