They have since bounced back with a 2-0 win at home against Genoa, against another former head coach in Daniele De Rossi, and did so without top goalscorer Donyell Malen, who was suspended. Malen is back in the squad for the visit of Slovan Bratislava and is expected to come straight back in to replace Santiago Castro at centre-forward in Gasperini's starting line-up.
