Genoa pre‑season friendlies in England

Overview

In late July 2026 Genoa C.F.C. began a pre‑season tour of England with a 1‑0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, a match highlighted by Lorenzo Colombo’s decisive goal and a solid defensive performance. Only a few days later, on 4 August, the Italian side faced Premier League hosts Bournemouth and suffered a 10‑1 defeat, the lone Genoa goal coming from midfielder Mikael Ellertsson. The stark contrast between a narrow win and a heavy loss intensified scrutiny on Genoa’s owner Dan Șucu and manager Daniele De Rossi ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign.
