Latest team news for Como vs Genoa
Having prematurely ended his impressive debut season in Serie A, Como's Spanish striker, Assane Diao, suffered a foot injury in training and will be sidelined for approximately two months.
Cesc Fabregas will also be without Sergi Roberto and Alberto Dossena for the rest of the season, while Alex Valle was sidelined in the win against Lecce and Maximo Perrone is suspended for one match – but the home side still have enough depth to compensate.
Nico Paz, on loan from Real Madrid, has scored six goals and provided 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.
On Genoa's side, the injury list includes Maxwel Cornet, Caleb Ekuban, and Hugo Cuenca, while Ruslan Malinovskyi is still struggling with a leg problem.
Key midfielder Fabio Miretti will undergo shoulder surgery and will be out for the rest of the season, while Sebastian Otoa is suspended after receiving a red card in the match against Lazio.
With Miretti absent, Brooke Norton-Cuffy was given a rare starting opportunity midweek, but Jeff Ekhator, Alessandro Zanoli and Junior Messias are all competing for a starting spot to support strikers Andrea Pinamonti and Vitinha.

Latest football match prediction: Como vs Genoa
Almost certainly safe from relegation for the second consecutive season in Serie A, Como secured a resounding 3-0 victory against Lecce – a team battling to avoid relegation – with young star Assane Diao scoring a brace away from home.
Diao has scored eight goals since his Serie A debut in early January – second only to top scorer Mateo Retegui – as the Lombardy club's ambitious recruitment strategy continues to bear fruit.
After a difficult start to their return to Italy's top flight, Como are now firmly in 12th place, with three consecutive wins putting them almost certainly safe from relegation – they are now 14 points clear of the relegation zone.
With interest from several major European clubs, new manager Cesc Fabregas is reportedly keen to stay for at least another season, so Como can begin planning for next season.
Their immediate goal is to break into the top 10, and their chances will be strengthened as they will play three of their remaining five matches at home. With a run of four consecutive unbeaten games at Sinigaglia, Como are a formidable opponent on their home ground.
In contrast to Como, Genoa's away record this season has been rather modest, with only four wins and 11 goals scored in 16 matches.
Immediately after scoring the last-minute equalizer in the first leg in November – extending their run of three consecutive draws against Como – former Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino was sacked. Since then, the team has experienced an impressive resurgence under the leadership of Patrick Vieira.
The French strategist will have the opportunity to face his former Arsenal teammate Fabregas, as both teams are level on points (39 points) and have a season with less pressure remaining.
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 0-2 to Lazio.
This was only Genoa's fifth home defeat of the season – and their first in 2025 – after Sebastian Otoa was sent off in the first half, leaving the team with virtually no chance against a top-four Lazio side.
Nevertheless, Genoa still have hopes of securing a top 10 spot, as they are only four points behind tenth-placed Torino – but a defeat at Como would almost certainly end those ambitions.
