Genoa manager Alberto Gilardino has received disappointing news as young midfielder Fabio Miretti has suffered another injury setback. The on-loan Juventus player was forced to end his training session early on Friday due to a physical problem encountered during the team practice.
This comes as a blow to Genoa, as Miretti had only recently returned to full training after recovering from previous muscular issues. The club’s medical staff will conduct clinical examinations in the coming hours to assess the extent of the injury and determine the recovery timeline.
The timing of this setback is particularly challenging for Genoa, as they are striving for consistency in their results. The team management hopes for a swift recovery, potentially in time for the upcoming match against Roma, but will prioritize a cautious approach to prevent any relapses.
With Miretti sidelined, Gilardino’s options in midfield are further limited, especially considering the recent injury to Messias. The manager now has two primary choices to fill the midfield role: Morten Thorsby and Ruslan Malinovskyi. Thorsby is seen as the ideal interpreter for the position, while opting for Malinovskyi would provide more offensive support but less defensive coverage.
