Lautaro barely played in Copa America, he should be good to go.

It's not about the burden month ago, it's about not training for 4 weeks.

You give me a choice of Lautaro not training for 4 weeks and Correa training non stop for the last 4 years, I know whom I'm choosing. Let's see if Inzaghi thinks the same this Saturday.

It's far more about protecting the player from himself. Not being adequately conditioned to play starters minutes. You can phrase Lautaro vs. Correa that way if you want and in a vacuum I agree, but I don't want Lautaro risking injury by playing in a manner he's not conditioned for yet.

If this was at the end of the season and the three points were paramount, I'd say differently. We shouldn't need to push the envelope against Genoa in the season opening game, doubly so given Genoa's own uncertainty with their XI right now. We're catching them at the right time.

He was here last week for training, it will be 2 weeks of training by the time Genoa starts. For a top level athlete like Lautaro himself, that should be sufficient for an "easy" opening game. Or maybe Taremi is fit enough to start alongside Thuram, who knows?

 

[wera]

Would be great to see Thuram show up and bring us the win. Need him to be at his best now that Lautaro isn't 100% and Taremi might not be 100% either.

 

[croazia]

An easy one.

You sure Correa really even trained? Walking around and laying down aren't training.

 

[SiamoNoi]

It seems that Zielinski is also out for this one but could be back for the next one.

 

[Universe]

Biggest 0-0 I’ve ever seen

 

[Fitzy]

Biggest 0-0 I’ve ever seen

Will we see it???

 

[vex]

I just want to see defensive solidity. If we have that from day one, then everything will flow into the right place by the time season starts heating up.

 

[wera]

yeah, a 0-1 win, where we score in the first half and hold down the fort without a shot conceded

I can see that happening

 

[pier]

In their coppa matches, they play 3-5-2 with Messias and Vitinha as forwards. However, they might also play 3-4-2-1 with Malinovsky and Messias behind Vitinha, which could make us wary.

We need to win these first away games to gain momentum, even though it won't be an easy game in this stadium and some players might not be ready for the match.

Darmian starting games as a rwb in 2024. Kill me

Should be good enough for this match. Dumfries getting more training minutes to his legs.

Both him and dumfries should be at best bench options.

 

[#NotForMe]

Yea yea yea, in Correa we trust, right? He will show us what he is made of.

[Dave54]

Why Darmian? Dumfries is not injured.
