"In Genoa we didn't allow the hosts a shot on goal and fully deserved our triumph.
"Games against Genoa are always physical affairs. We did well to come away with a win from a tough venue.

"Our aim tomorrow is to win and climb up into the higher reaches of the table.
"I've got plenty of options for the Frosinone match and could also rest a few players.

"Lemina represents a decent fit as an inside midfielder. He did well on his debut against Genoa.
"Neto will start against Frosinone in place of Buffon. Caceres will once again be rested for tomorrow's game
