Genoa's Leonardo Pavoletti out with torn hamstring suffered vs. Lazio

Genoa forward Leonardo Pavoletti faces an absence of several weeks after suffering a hamstring tear against Lazio on Saturday.

Defender Cristian Ansaldi also injured a hamstring in the goalless draw but a club statement on Tuesday revealed the Argentina international's problem is less severe than Pavoletti's.

It read: "Genoa CFC announces that tests carried out at the Istituto Il Baluardo showed Leonardo Pavoletti has a grade two hamstring injury in his right thigh.

"Cristian Ansaldi, meanwhile, has a grade one hamstring injury in his left thigh.

"Their recovery times will be determined as their injuries evolve."
