Genoa Coach Davide Ballardini reveals Giuseppe Rossi could feature against Juventus in the Coppa Italia.
The striker signed for the Grifone earlier this month on a free transfer, having recovered from the latest in a series of knee injuries.
The Italian international has now been registered with the Lega Serie A, meaning he’s available to play, and he could feature against the Bianconeri.
“I’ll talk to the fitness coaches,” Ballardini said in his pre-match Press conference.

“I’ll talk to the fitness coaches,” Ballardini said in his pre-match Press conference.
“He’s doing a mixed programme, team work and individual, and after that we’ll evaluate whether to call him up or not.”
Genoa face Benevento at the weekend in what could be a relegation six-pointer, but Ballardini’s focus is firmly on this match.
“We’re trying to prepare for this game in the best way. We can’t do anything else, we’re going to Turin to play the best team in Italy, one of the best in the world, and we’re looking forward to doing our best.
“As with Crotone, some of the lads who have played less will get their chance and this is an opportunity for them.
“I expect a good performance, because as I’ve said these lads are committed and do well during the week, they’re very professional.
“Juventus? They never get a game wrong. The big teams – and Juventus are probably the biggest, because as a club they’re different from all the others – have a squad and an education which is different from other teams.
“They’ll face this in the right way, it’ll be a real match.”
