Como finished fourth in Serie A last term and has started this season well, winning their last two matches against Napoli and Genoa. The club's head coach, Luis Milla, has assured that Como have 'worked hard to make sure we’re prepared' for the big match. This is a significant achievement for a club that has undergone significant changes over the summer.
Milla is one of only three new arrivals in the starting XI, along with Trevoh Chalobah and Yan Couto. The only injury absentee is Jayden Addai, while Maxence Caqueret and Edoardo Goldaniga did not fit on the UEFA squad list. Cesc Fabregas is trying to put together a combination of new signings and the players who got Como to this point.
The match against RB Leipzig will be a big test for Como, but Milla is confident in his team's abilities. "We worked hard to make sure we’re prepared, and when you work like this, you are closer to your objectives," Milla told Sky Sport Italia. The match kicks off at the Stadio Sinigaglia at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST).
This is a historic moment for Como, and the club is looking to make a positive impression in the Champions League. The match against RB Leipzig will be a significant test of the club's abilities, but Milla is confident that his team is ready.
