Mattia Liberali is unlikely to be available for Como’s home game against Sassuolo on Saturday as the Italian talent is dealing with a muscle problem.
Como may have to do without Liberali in their next Serie A match against Sassuolo.
Why Liberali didn’t play a single minute vs. Man United
Gazzetta reports that the Italian talent felt muscle discomfort while warming up during Como’s 4-1 win over Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday, so he was not introduced as a substitute, as a precaution.
According to Gazzetta, the former Milan and Catanzaro talent is set to undergo medical tests today, but he is highly unlikely to be included in Como’s squad for their clash against Sassuolo.
Liberali opened his Serie A account last week in Como’s 3-1 away win over Fiorentina, scoring in his first start for the club.
Como are already short of attacking options, with both Moise Kean and Assane Diao injured.
The Azzurri sit fifth in the Serie A table with 14 points: four wins, two draws and one loss.
