Koni De Winter goes ko

It’s raining cats and dogs at Genoa. After Malinovskyi, Vitinha, Frendrup, Badelj and Messias, Koni De Winter also ends up knocked out. The 2001 class defender, in fact, suffered a muscle injury during the last training session with Belgium.

According to a report from "Il Secolo XIX", the first sensations would not be at all positive, as it is feared a stop of about a month for the former Juventus player. The player would be expected already in the coming hours in Italy to undergo instrumental examinations and to verify more clearly his condition, the'extent'of the physical problem and the recovery time.

The number 4 will most likely miss the next home match against Bologna. Among the various injured, in addition, Alberto Gilardino could recover at least for the bench Junior Messias.

Good news for Genoa, however, comes from the market, as today it was made official the signing of the unemployed Gaston Pereiro: "Gastón Pereiro è a new Genoa player.
The Uruguayan footballer, born in Montevideo on 11/06/1995, has worn the shirts of Club Nacional, PSV Eindhoven, Cagliari and Ternana in his career.In the Eredivisie he has collected 118 appearances, 44 goals and 17 assists. In Serie A 54 appearances, 7 goals and 3 assists. In the European arena he boasts 19 appearances in the UEFA Champions League. The 1995 class will wear the number 11 shirt that was once Albert Gudmundsson’s. Welcome to Genoa, Gastón!".
