Ruled out for Lecce contest

Ekhator (foot) didn't make Genoa's squad list to face Lecce on Sunday.

Analysis: Ekhator was questionable due to a contusion and will indeed skip the season finale. He emerged late in the campaign and concluded with three goals, 20 shots (five on target), 10 chances created and nine crosses (zero accurate) in 30 showings (nine starts). Lorenzo Colombo is the lone pure striker available for this one. Mikael Egill Ellertsson will likely move to the no.10 role, making room on the wings.

Questionable for Lecce game

Ekhator "is in doubt for Sunday due to a bruised metatarsal," coach Daniele De Rossi communicated.

Analysis: Ekhator will have to go through a fitness test to be healthy and potentially start anyway. Genoa would be short-handed if he didn't make it, as Vitinha (suspension) and Junior Messias (calf) are out and Caleb Ekuba is iffy. Lorenzo Colombo is the only fully healthy striker. Ruslan Malinovskyi and Mikael Egill Ellertsson could play in more attacking roles if needed.
