Players to watch out for
Nico Paz (Como)
Paz will be important to the Larians’ creativity in the final third. His ability to find space between the opposition’s midfield and defence could help the hosts create scoring opportunities.
Donyell Malen (AS Roma)
Malen has been one of the Giallorossi’s most productive attacking players. His movement behind the defensive line and finishing ability will make him a key threat against their upcoming opponents.

Injury & team news
Como are expected to assess Moise Kean’s fitness after he experienced muscle fatigue during international duty. His availability remains uncertain ahead of Sunday’s match. Nico Paz is also returning from international duty, and the team will monitor his condition before finalising the starting XI.
Cesc Fàbregas could otherwise retain much of the side that recently faced Frosinone, with Jean Butez in goal and Tasos Douvikas leading the attack.
Roma are concerned about Bryan Cristante, who has been dealing with knee inflammation and could miss the trip to Como. Marten de Roon is an option to partner Manu Koné in midfield if Cristante is unavailable.
Donyell Malen and Wesley have recovered and are expected to be available. Evan Ndicka is also in contention to return to the starting defence. Meanwhile, Niccolò Pisilli’s chances of starting in the attacking midfield role are affected by competition from Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé.
