  • Stephan El Shaarawy was available for Genoa after returning to the club, although De Rossi said he might only be ready for a short appearance.

Como turned the match around at Marassi, taking a 3-1 lead over Genoa in the Serie A fixture that opened the third round.

We expect a difficult match because Como is perhaps the team that has improved the most in recent years.

· Daniele De RossiThe Genoa coach assessed Como before the Serie A match.

Genoa struck first through Osmajic in the 19th minute. Baturina equalized for Como six minutes later, Diao put the visitors ahead in the 30th minute, and Paz extended their advantage in the 40th.

Before the match, Genoa coach Daniele De Rossi said Como had been among the teams that had improved most in recent years. He added that every team could be beaten and said Genoa would approach the game with courage.

Every team can be beaten, every team can be faced with courage, and we will do that.

· Daniele De RossiDe Rossi described Genoa’s approach to the match.

Genoa could not count on recent signing Drameh because of outstanding administrative issues, but Stephan El Shaarawy was available after completing his medical checks. De Rossi said El Shaarawy had kept himself in shape but needed to regain full fitness after spending six months away from team training. He said the forward could still contribute for 10 or 15 minutes and hoped to have him on the bench.

He is a player who can give us a lot, even for 10 or 15 minutes.
