After Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Torino, Como are in fifth place with 20 points thanks to goals from Ramon, Nico Paz and Martin Baturina. Cesc Fabregas’ side have made a strong start to the season and travel to Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Mattia Liberali returned to the Como team after injury. Fabregas called his return “very positive news”. Moise Kean has been sidelined for nearly five weeks with the problem, which flared up after the international break.
