Serie A: Genoa vs. Lecce – Confirmed line-ups and updates | OneFootball

Ruslan Malinovskyi is back in the Genoa starting line-up for the first time in six months for Friday evening’s Serie A match at home against Lecce.

Kick-off is due at 19.45 GMT.

Malinovskyi has been out of action since September with a broken fibula, but marked his return to action with a 15-minute appearance off the bench in the 1-1 draw against Cagliari last Friday. He is now fit enough to start for the first time in six months.

Malinovskyi is one of several changes Patrick Vieira has made for the Lecce clash, as Andrea Pinamonti, Alessandro Zanoli, Patrizio Masini and Stefano Sabelli also return to the line-up in place of Caleb Ukuban, Jeff Ekhator, Maxwel Cornet, Milan Badelj and Brooke Norton-Cuffy.

Lecce, meanwhile, are coming in off the back of a disappointing 3-2 loss against Milan last week, a game they had led by two goals to nil after an hour.

Marco Giampaolo has decided to name an unchanged line-up.

Genoa vs. Lecce: Confirmed line-ups

Genoa (4-2-3-1): Leali; Sabelli, De Winter, Vasquez, Martin; Frendrup, Masini; Zanoli, Malinovskyi, Miretti; Pinamonti.

Lecce (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Guilbert, Baschirotto, Jean, Gallo; Coulibaly, Berisha; Pierotti, Helgason, Morente; Krstovic.
