Genoa striker Alessandro Matri has played down talk of returning to parent club AC Milan.

Matri has been in good goalscoring form for the Grifone this term.

"The season is still long, these five goals are not enough," Matri said.

"I am happy to hear the positive words about me, it is a pleasure to hear such things given that last year I seemed lost.

"I have scored goals this season but only away from home, I am missing them at home."
