Mi emoziona sempre cominciare un'annata nuova e farlo in una piazza importante e passionale come Napoli. Ho grande curiosità sulla prima giornata.

Genoa's coach, De Rossi, has received a boost with the recovery of Swiss player Meichtry, who is available for Saturday's match against Napoli. Meichtry had suffered a knee sprain on August 1st but has returned to training. However, striker Havel is out with a muscle issue, though expected back next week, and Traoré is also still recovering. The club's president, Dan Sucu, is in Genoa to attend the match and will also use the opportunity to discuss transfer market plans with other executives. The team is looking to sign an attacker and a winger in the final weeks of the transfer window, while also planning for some player departures.
