FiorentinaDNP in Genoa contest
Balbo (undisclosed) didn't feature in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Genoa.
Analysis: Balbo worked his way back from a small injury, but veteran Robin Gosens has recovered completely from his physical problem and played the whole game. He'll have more troubles getting minutes down the stretch than in previous weeks, as Fabiano Parisi is also healthy now. He made four appearances in the season, tallying six tackles (four won), one interception and nine clearances, with no clean sheets.
Good to go for Genoa bout
Balbo (undisclosed) made Fiorentina's squad list to face Genoa on Sunday.
Analysis: Balbo will be back after skipping one tilt due to a muscular ailment. He recently played more than usual because of some absences, but Robin Gosens and Fabiano Parisi are both fit for this one. He has registered at least one tackle, amassing six (four won), and one clearance, totaling nine, in his last four displays, adding four crosses (zero accurate) and three blocks, with no clean sheets, over that span.
Picks up injury
Balbo hasn't been called up for Monday's fixture versus Lazio due to a muscular problem, Fiorentina relayed.
Analysis: Balbo got hurt after drawing a spot-start last week since Robin Gosens (thigh) and Fabiano Parisi (foot) were missing. Both are fit for this one, and one will get the start at left-back. Luca Ranieri is also an option.
