Genoa, good news for Mateo Retegui

Genoa, good news for Mateo Retegui

It’s about time. Everything seems to be ready for the return to the field of Mateo Retegui, who has been in the pits for almost two months, minus the 45 minutes played against Salernitana at the end of October. The Rossobl'striker, in fact, è returned to train with his teammates in the group, as reported by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'.

This is a fundamental recovery for coach Gilardino, both because the absence of the Azzurri striker has weighed on the Grifone’s attack, and also because against Empoli, which will visit Genoa on Saturday afternoon, Albert Gudmundsson, stopped by a calf muscle strain, will still be missing.

Retegui is a candidate for a shirt from the 1' in the next round against the Tuscans, supported by Malinovskyi, with Messias and Ekuban, also recovered, ready to come on from the bench. On the other hand, Kevin Strootman, who was knocked out against Frosinone, will not be there: the Dutch midfielder suffered a hamstring strain in his right thigh and will only be back available in 2024.
