Mattia Liberali is unlikely to be available for Como's home game against Sassuolo on Saturday because he is dealing with a muscle problem. Como may have to do without him in their next Serie A match at a time when their attacking options are already reduced.
Availability for Saturday
Como may have to do without Liberali in their next Serie A match against Sassuolo. According to Gazzetta, Liberali is highly unlikely to be included in Como's squad for the clash.
Muscle issue and tests
Gazzetta reports that Liberali felt muscle discomfort while warming up during Como's 4-1 win over Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday, so he was not introduced as a substitute, as a precaution. According to Gazzetta, Liberali is set to undergo medical tests on 23 October.
Como's attacking options
Liberali opened his Serie A account in Como's 3-1 away win over Fiorentina, scoring in his first start for the club. Como are already short of attacking options, with both Moise Kean and Assane Diao injured.
League position
The Azzurri sit fifth in the Serie A table with 14 points, from four wins, two draws and one loss.
