Genoa vs AC Milan Match Preview: Key Player Absences

The Serie A clash between Genoa and AC Milan is scheduled for 17 May 2026 at Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa. Genoa come into this Regular Season - 37 fixture sitting 14th on 41 points, while AC Milan are 4th with 67 points and chasing a Champions League place.

Genoa Availability

Genoa face several concerns. Junior Messias (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. T. Baldanzi (Thigh Injury) is doubtful. M. Cornet (Inactive) is doubtful. B. Norton-Cuffy (Thigh Injury) is doubtful. S. Otoa (Inactive) is doubtful. No Genoa players appear in the league’s top scorers list, so their main attacking threats are expected to be available.

AC Milan Availability

AC Milan have key absences. P. Estupinan (Yellow Cards) is sidelined. R. Leao (Yellow Cards) is sidelined, a major blow given his 9 goals and 3 assists. L. Modric (Broken cheekbone) is sidelined. A. Saelemaekers (Yellow Cards) is sidelined. C. Pulisic (Muscle Injury) is doubtful; his 8 goals and 3 assists make his potential absence another major blow.

Impact Summary

Genoa lose depth and flexibility rather than headline attacking output. AC Milan, however, are deprived of significant attacking production, with up to 17 league goals and 6 assists from Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic at risk, which could noticeably reduce their cutting edge in the final third.
