During the match between Cagliari and Genoa, Genoa winger Maxwel Cornet was injured, which led to coach Vieira substituting him with Malinovskyi.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, the forward felt a problem in his thigh and had to leave the field, ending his game prematurely.
Instrumental tests are scheduled in the coming hours to clarify the situation, allowing for a precise assessment of the severity of the physical problem, estimation of recovery times, and planning of the rehabilitation process. It appears to be an ankle sprain.
Vieira spoke to Dazn after the match: “I don’t know how Cornet is, I haven’t spoken to the doctor yet.” But the feeling is that it is not a minor issue.
Before the international break, Genoa will face Lecce in a direct match for survival at Marassi. The match, valid for the 29th matchday of Serie A, is scheduled for March 14th at 8:45 PM.
