Two doubts for De Rossi: who will defend the rossoblù posts against Bologna? Will it be the turn of debutant Bijlow, who arrived this week from Feyenoord, or will Leali be confirmed? And again: will Norton-Cuffy take back the starting shirt on the right or will Sabelli make room for it after the positive match in Parma? Or maybe Ellertsson will be used to try someone different in midfield?
The defense without the suspended Ostigard
In the midst of some question marks to be resolved, the certainty is the return to the center of Otoa’s defense, who will take the place of the suspended Ostigard. After three games, Sebastian returns to the starting lineup: the last time he started from the start was the first of 2026 at home against Pisa.
First time at Ferraris for Justin and Nils
First Genoa swim for Bijlow and Zatterstrom, who against Bologna will discover Marassi and the rossoblù people. A little more patience, however, to see Baldanzi among the squad: the midfielder who arrived from Roma is struggling with a muscle problem that is in the process of being resolved. A call-up for the next match, Friday against Lazio, is not ruled out. Otherwise, it will be postponed to Saturday 7 February, when Ferraris will arrive in Naples.
Ended up on loan at Frosinone
The reduction of the squad requested by De Rossi continues. Seydou Fini’s move on loan to Frosinone is imminent: the rossoblù winger should join his new team in the early days of next week.
