Genoa boss Thiago Motta expects his midfielders to chip in with goals in the wake of Christian Kouame's injury and has a very different approach to SPAL.
Midfielder Simone Missiroli admits SPAL have “become insecure” after a poor start to the season and hopes a good result against Genoa could “spur” them on.
Captain Domenico Criscito revealed “it’s weird” to refer to Thiago Motta as his coach, but predicts he will have “great future” as Genoa fight for survival in Serie A.
Milan could send forward Krzysztof Piatek out on loan if the striker doesn't start scoring in the next five games, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport, with a Genoa comeback on the cards.
Christian Kouame’s serious knee injury isn’t just bad for Genoa, but also for Crystal Palace, as he was reportedly due to join for €25m plus bonuses in January.
Despite the latest setback with Genoa and morale at an all-time low, Napoli and Carlo Ancelotti are reportedly sticking together at least until Liverpool.
