Como confirm Nico Paz absence in squad announcement for big clash against Parma | OneFootball

Como have officially confirmed that they will be without star attacker Nico Paz for Sunday’s crucial clash against Parma, which could have significant consequences on the race for the Serie A top four.

Como find themselves in sixth place heading into the final two matches of the season, but they sit just two shy of both Roma in fifth and the out-of-form Milan in fourth.

Cesc Fabregas’s side have already confirmed that they will be competing in the Europa League at a minimum next season, but there is still hope of a top four finish and an historic Champions League campaign in the balance.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Saturday, Fabregas announced that he will have to go without Nico Paz this weekend, and that his availability for the final game of the season against Cremonese is in doubt as well.

“Nico Paz is injured, he will not be there tomorrow with Parma,” Fabregas told the press. “He had a knock to the knee. If it had been played on Monday, we might be in a different situation, but in all honesty I can’t say if he’ll play the last game either. I hope so, but I couldn’t tell you for sure.”

Given that Real Madrid look set to activate their buy-back option for Nico Paz this summer, this could spell the end of his time with Como.

Fabregas also confirmed that Alex Valle and Jayden Addai were unavailable for Sunday’s match against Parma, which has since been confirmed in Como’s official squad announcement.
