Latest Como vs Genoa team information
Ending an impressive debut season in Serie A early, Como's Spanish striker Assane Diao has suffered a foot injury in training and will be sidelined for around two months.
Cesc Fabregas will also be without Sergi Roberto and Alberto Dossena for the rest of the season, while Alex Valle was substituted in the win over Lecce and Maximo Perrone is suspended for one match – but the hosts have enough squad depth to compensate.
Nico Paz, on loan from Real Madrid, has six goals and six assists since arriving in Lombardy last summer and will continue to play a key role alongside Jonathan Ikone, Gabriel Strefezza and Tasos Douvikas in attack.
For Genoa, the injury list includes Maxwel Cornet, Caleb Ekuban and Hugo Cuenca, while Ruslan Malinovskyi is still struggling with a foot problem.
Key midfielder Fabio Miretti will have shoulder surgery and will not be able to return for the rest of the season, while Sebastian Otoa is suspended following his red card against Lazio.
In the absence of Miretti, Brooke Norton-Cuffy was handed a rare start in midweek, but Jeff Ekhator, Alessandro Zanoli and Junior Messias are all vying for starting spots to support the striker duo of Andrea Pinamonti and Vitinha.
Latest expected lineup for Como vs Genoa

Latest football review Como vs Genoa
Almost certain to stay in Serie A for the second consecutive season, Como just had a big 3-0 win over Lecce – a team competing for relegation – with young star Assane Diao scoring a double away from home.
Diao has scored eight goals since his Serie A debut at the start of January – behind only top scorer Mateo Retegui – as the Lombardy club's ambitious recruitment strategy continues to pay dividends.
After a difficult start to their return to Italy's top flight, Como are now firmly in 12th place, with three consecutive wins keeping them all but certain of survival – they are now 14 points clear of the relegation zone.
With interest from several big European clubs, new coach Cesc Fabregas is said to want to stay for at least one more season, so Como can start planning for next season.
Moving into the top 10 is their aim for now, and their chances will be boosted by the fact that three of their remaining five games are at home. With a four-game unbeaten run at Sinigaglia, Como are a formidable opponent at home.
In contrast to Como, Genoa's away record this season has been quite modest, with just four wins and 11 goals scored in 16 games.
Shortly after scoring a last-minute equaliser in the first leg in November – which extended a run of three consecutive draws against Como – former Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino was sacked. Since then, the team has enjoyed an impressive resurgence under Patrick Vieira.
The French strategist will have the opportunity to face his former teammate at Arsenal, Fabregas, in the context that both teams are equal on points (39 points) and have a season with less pressure.
All Serie A matches on Easter Monday were postponed to commemorate the passing of Pope Francis, so Genoa's last game was moved to Wednesday, where they lost 2-0 to Lazio.
It was only Genoa's fifth home defeat of the season – and first in 2025 – after Sebastian Otoa was sent off in the first half, leaving them with little chance of defending against a top-four Lazio side.
Genoa still have hope of finishing in the top 10, though, as they are just four points behind 10th-placed Torino – but defeat in Como would all but end those ambitions.
