DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Maximo Perrone - Assists twice in win Perrone assisted twice to go with zero corners and two chances created in Monday's 5-1 win against Torino.

Impact Perrone is typically a defensive engine in the Como midfield, but he showed his creative upside as well with a strong assist off a corner and through ball. He has recorded 19 tackles in Serie A this season while continuing to handle his defensive responsibilities. He has now started three straight league matches, conceding only one goal in that span and contributing to two clean sheets. Perrone remains a key presence in the midfield.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Baturina has continued to struggle for minutes since joining from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer. He produced a quality finish with his first shot on target this season, and it could be a step in the right direction. However, the Como attack has been very successful this year, so his playing time moving forward remains uncertain.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Paz - Gets back on scoresheet Nico Paz scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 5-1 win versus Torino.

Impact Paz scored for the first time in five league matches, finishing a well-timed through ball from Maximo Perrone during Como's dominant attacking performance. He currently leads Serie A in goal contributions this season and continues to be a key figure in Como's strong run. Como now face a difficult stretch against Sassuolo, Inter Milan, and Roma, but Paz remains the focal point of their attack, carrying over the form he showed last season.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Addai - Scores twice in dominant win Addai scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 5-1 win against Torino.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Dossena - Still out Monday Dossena (knee) hasn't been selected for Monday's match versus Torino.

Impact Dossena is ramping up in training and is almost ready to return from a major knee injury, but he'll be given more time. The short turnaround doesn't work in his favor ahead of the ensuing match versus Sassuolo either. Jacobo Ramon, Diego Carlos and Marc-Oliver Kempf are at the top of the defensive depth chart.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Dossena - Could be back versus Torino Dossena (knee) wasn't mentioned by coach Cesc Fabregas among the players who would miss Monday's game against Torino.

Impact Dossena was expected to return around this time earlier in the season after suffering an ACL rupture in March, and it appears that the timetable has been respected. He's unlikely to get minutes right away as Como have three other trustworthy defenders ahead of him in the depth chart.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Roberto - Remains sidelined Roberto (thigh) "is unavailable for Monday's match against Torino," coach Cesc Fabregas started.

Impact Roberto hasn't been able to recuperate during the break and could skip further games. He's been out since late October. Maximo Perrone, Lucas Da Cunha and Maxence Caqueret have patrolled the midfield in recent matches.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Assane Diao - Will miss some time Diao has been diagnosed with a low-grade strain in his left biceps femoris, Como announced.

Impact Diao will have to sit out at least a couple of games after picking up a muscular problem in the last Serie A match and aggravating it while training with Senegal. He continues to be slowed down by injuries and has appeared just four times so far. Jesus Rodriguez, Jayden Addai and Nicolas Kuhn will absorb his minutes.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Assane Diao - Ruled out for international friendlies Diao won't be involved in two friendlies with Senegal because of a left hamstring injury he suffered with his team, the Federation announced.

Impact Diao practiced with the team for a few days but was deemed unfit to play against Brazil and Kenya and will be released early. He'll take tests upon his return to Como. He is in doubt for November 24's away game against Torino. He has been splitting duties with Jesus Rodriguez on the left wing since returning from a previous injury.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Kempf - DNP versus Cagliari Kempf (ankle) was an unused sub in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Cagliari.

Impact Kempf was available despite not being fully fit but wasn't needed in this one. He'll compete with Diego Carlos and Jacobo Ramon for two spots in the middle of the defense going forward, as the coach has gone back and forth with his selection. He had started in three of the previous six matches, notching 17 clearances, three blocks and two tackles (one won), scoring once and contributing to two clean sheets over that span.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Maxence Caqueret - Terrible in service Caqueret generated eight crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Cagliari.

Impact Only one of Caqueret's eight crosses was considered accurate, and Como didn't generate many chances off his corners either. It was a rough showing for the midfielder but a favorable matchup with Torino looms in two weeks. Torino has conceded 16 goals in 10 matches, so Caqueret can have better stats if he's slightly more on point with his crossing.
