The midfielder of Genoa, Ruslan Malinovskyi, has recovered from a recent leg injury and made his long-awaited return to the squad for the Serie A match after a five-month absence.

However, despite being included in the matchday roster, the Ukrainian international did not make it onto the pitch. His team, Genoa, struggled throughout the game but ultimately secured all three points, with both goals coming in the dying moments of the match against Venezia.
