Injury-dogged former Italy
striker Giuseppe Rossi has returned to Italy from New York and
will play for Genoa if he passes a medical, the chairman of the
Serie A side, Enrico Preziosi, said Wednesday.
Rossi, 30, is set for Wednesday's medical after his latest
long injury lay-off.
"I hope it goes well, more for him than for us," said
Preziosi.
Genoa said later that it would take three days to put Rossi
through a thorough medical.
They said this was because of the numerous ligament woes he
had had.
American-born Rossi last played for Celta Vigo last season
and has been a free agent since June.
His former clubs include Manchester United, Villarreal -
where his goalscoring feats earned him the nickname 'Pepito'
Fiorentina and Levante.
He earned 30 Italy caps between 2008 and 2014, scoring seven
times for his country.
