Monza’s Akpa-Akpro Sidelined Due to Injury: Latest Updates

During the Serie A match between Genoa and Monza, the visiting team was forced to make an early substitution just before halftime. Coach Bocchetti replaced Akpa-Akpro, who suffered a right thigh strain, with 2002-born Alessandro Bianco. This like-for-like swap in central midfield maintained Monza’s tactical setup, with the former Fiorentina player positioning himself near debutant Urbanski.

Akpa-Akpro, on loan from Lazio, will undergo a medical examination in the coming hours to assess the severity of his injury and determine the expected recovery period. It remains uncertain whether the midfielder will be available for Monza’s next fixture, scheduled for Saturday, February 1st at 15:00, when they host Verona at home. The medical staff will evaluate if he can return to action soon or if a longer absence is necessary.
