The Story in 60 Seconds

Mattia Liberali is unlikely to feature in Como's upcoming Serie A match against Sassuolo due to a muscle issue. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian talent felt discomfort during his warm-up in Como's 4-1 Champions League victory over Manchester United on Tuesday, leading the club to keep him on the bench as a precaution.

The former Milan and Catanzaro player is scheduled for medical tests, but an appearance on Saturday is highly improbable. His potential absence adds to manager options already limited by injuries to attackers Moise Kean and Assane Diao, as fifth-placed Como seek to build on 14 points.
