MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain has been left out of the squad for Monday's match at Genoa after coach Gennaro Gattuso said the Argentine was "not ready" for the match amid talk of a loan move to Chelsea.

Higuain has looked out of sorts since joining Milan on loan from Juventus in August and his total of eight goals in 22 appearances in all competitions is modest by his own prolific standards.
