Genoa injury updates on Retegui and Malinovskyi

Genoa have provided injury updates on star players Mateo Retegui and Ruslan Malinovskyi following problems picked up against Frosinone.

The pair limped off in the 1-1 Serie A match played at Marassi on Saturday.

Italy international Retegui sprained his ankle and was forced off the field at the 54^th minute.

Initial tests show it is largely just a bruise and he should be available within a couple of weeks, aided also by the fact he is suspended for the next Serie A game regardless.

As for Malinovskyi, the Ukraine international creative midfielder suffered a thigh strain and medical staff confirmed there is a lesion to the femoral bicep.

He is expected to be out of action for circa a month, which also gives Malinovskyi very little time to fully recover ahead of his nation’s participation in the Euro 2024 tournament in June.

Genoa are comfortably mid-table, although the gap between them and the relegation zone is now only 10 points.
