Head coach of Italian "Genoa" Alberto Gilardino, commenting on the defeat from "Cagliari" (1:2) in today's match of the 11th round of the Italian championship, assessed the current playing conditions of the Ukrainian midfielder of his team Ruslan Malinovskiy.
"Today I had to make a number of forced personnel decisions. There were problems with Puskash and Ekuban. Malinovskyi worked well the day before and we prepared him to go on the field. But when he will be in better shape, he will be able to give us much more," said Gilardino after the match against Cagliari.
It should be noted that in this game Malinovskyi came on the field in the starting line-up of Genoa, on 28 minutes received a yellow card, and at the end of the meeting was replaced. The Ukrainian moved to Genoa in mid-August on loan from French side Marseille. Since then, the midfielder has taken part in 10 matches of his new team (seven appearances in the starting line-up, three substitute appearances), and from the productive actions in his asset two assists.
