New Genoa signing Juraj Kucka could see action tonight in the Coppa Italia against Inter Milan.

Kucka has been snapped up from Sparta Prague.

"We will try to impress and have respect for the competition," said Genoa coach Davide Ballardini.

"I expect a very strong Inter side, but we will give it our all to put in the best performance.

"We will certainly change a few things, as we have a small squad and some players need to rest.

"Rodrigo Palacio is in the side and we'll see if he can make his comeback. Bosko Jankovic will probably rest, but Miguel Veloso is playing and, if the transfer arrives on time, Juraj Kucka could feature."
