Como: big blow for Moise Kean

Como striker Moise Kean is expected to be sidelined for around five weeks following successful treatment on a tibia injury at the Cugat Institute in Barcelona. The club announced that his convalescence will be evaluated daily, which will likely delay his return to action until December. The absence leaves manager Cesc Fàbregas without a key offensive option for upcoming Serie A and Champions League fixtures.

Kean joined Como from Fiorentina during the summer for nearly 40 million euros but has struggled with ongoing physical problems. The injury is also set to keep him out of Roberto Mancini's Italy squad for the upcoming international fixtures, potentially providing Anastasios Douvikas with increased playing time in attack.
