Stays on the bench versus Genoa

Bella-Kotchap (thigh) was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Genoa.

Analysis: Bella-Kotchap was available after missing nearly two months, but the coach elected to stick with players who were in better form. He could supplant either Redouane Halhal or Matias Moreno once he's 100 percent.

Selected for Genoa match

Bella-Kotchap (thigh) has been included in Venezia's squad list to face Genoa on Sunday.

Analysis: Bella-Kotchap is good to go after sitting out six weeks due to a thigh strain and will likely be eased off the bench in this one, as the defense worked well in the previous game. He was a regular in the early going, posting at least one tackle, totaling four (three won), and one clearance, amassing 13, in all three appearances, with no clean sheets.
