Team News
Cesc Fàbregas is without Mauro Vigorito, Edoardo Goldaniga, Maxence Caqueret, Jayden Addai, Willy Kambwala and Adrian Lahdo, all of whom are ineligible, with Addai also recovering from an Achilles tendon rupture.
Jean Butez should start in goal behind Yan Couto, Jacobo Ramón, Trevoh Chalobah and Álex Valle. That back four will need to remain disciplined against Leipzig’s pace, particularly when Couto and Valle advance to support attacks.
Lucas Da Cunha and Luis Milla are expected to provide the midfield base, allowing Nico Paz and Martin Baturina to operate between the lines. Their technical quality should be central to Como’s attempts to play through Leipzig’s press rather than relying solely on counter-attacks.
Assane Diao should provide width, with Tasos Douvikas leading the line. Moise Kean also offers notable Champions League pedigree if involved, having contributed five goals and one assist in six starts in the competition across his career.
Martin Demichelis has a lengthy absentee list, with Leopold Zingerle, Abdoul Koné and Suleman Sani ineligible, while Rocco Reitz, Castello Lukeba, Brajan Gruda, Assan Ouédraogo, Rômulo, Viggo Gebel and Christoph Baumgartner are also unavailable.
Maarten Vandevoordt should continue in goal behind Ridle Baku, Willi Orbán, Maxime Estève and David Raum. Lukeba’s absence reduces Leipzig’s defensive depth and places greater responsibility on Orbán to organise a back line that has struggled for clean sheets in Europe.
Neil El Aynaoui, Ezechiel Banzuzi and Nicolas Seiwald should form the midfield three, with Tidiam Gomis and Antonio Nusa operating behind Christopher Nkunku. Nusa’s ability to carry the ball at speed could be particularly valuable if Como commit their full-backs forward.
Nkunku should lead the line and give Leipzig a proven focal point who can link midfield and attack. The visitors have scored in 11 consecutive matches across all competitions, but their defensive record remains the larger concern after conceding in 18 successive Champions League fixtures.
