Tuesday’s Champions League action brought mixed results for Serie A clubs, with Inter beating Feyenoord 3-0 away and Roma losing 3-2 at Old Trafford to Manchester United after wasting a two-goal lead.

Como have three unavailable players: Moise Kean, Trevoh Chalobah and Assane Diao.

According to Sky and Gazzetta, Martin Baturina is expected to return to the starting XI after being benched against Venezia in the previous Serie A round.

Paz and Douvikas, Como’s main attacking men, are expected to get no rest tonight, while Lucas Da Cunha will start again at right wing. Mattia Liberali is available on the bench after recovering from an injury.
