Como’s Lineup and Injury Concerns
The home side faces several injury-related challenges:
– Maximo Perrone, Alessandro Gabrielloni, and Marco Sala remain sidelined
– Alberto Moreno may return after a period of absence
In attack, Fabregas will likely deploy either Patrick Cutrone or Andrea Belotti as the lone striker. Supporting the frontman will be Alieu Fadera, Nico Paz, and Gabriel Strefezza. Notably, Strefezza brings Serie A experience from his time at Lecce, where he made 54 appearances and scored nine goals.
Lecce’s Team News
The visitors also have their share of absentees and potential changes:
– Lameck Banda and Kialonda Gaspar are out, possibly until March
– Antonino Gallo has resumed full training and might start
– Patrick Dorgu could shift to right-back due to Frederic Guilbert’s suspension
Key Player to Watch
Federico Baschirotto stands out as a crucial figure in Lecce’s defense. The center-back has logged more minutes than any other outfield player in Serie A this year, accumulating 3,330 minutes in 2024 after an impressive 3,475 minutes in 2023.
Como (4-2-3-1): Reina; Van der Brempt, Dossena, Kempf, Moreno; Da Cunha, Roberto; Strefezza, Paz, Fadera; Belotti
Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Dorgu, Baschirotto, Bonifazi, Gallo; Coulibaly, Berisha, Rafia; Pierotti, Krstovic, Morente
