Cesena-Como, Fabregas is back to turn the tide

Como, midfield SOS at Empoli. And Fabregas must reverse the trend

On the pitch at 18.30 at Castellani

Bad news arrives from the infirmary in Como: Bellemo and Arrigoni also end up in the infirmary, in addition to the already known absences of Ioannou, Faragò and Cerri.

Mister Longo is therefore forced to review the plans for the midfield in view of the next match, scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday 28 January, on the Empoli field.

Against the Tuscans, Como will have to try to reverse the trend that has seen them collect only one point in the last three league games: a draw at home against Cosenza (1-1) and two defeats away against Spal (2-0) and Brescia (1-0).

To do this, Longo will have to find the right solutions in midfield, where he will have to replace Bellemo and Arrigoni.

One of the possible solutions could be to field Fabregas from the first minute, the Spanish midfielder who arrived in Como in the last transfer market session and who has so far played only a few minutes.

If Fabregas were to play from the start, he would most likely be deployed in the playmaker role, with Baselli and Parigini acting as mezzali.

Another possible solution would be to field Blanco from the first minute, who has so far played as a winger but who can also play as a midfielder.

If Blanco were to play from the start, he would most likely be deployed in the left midfield role, with Baselli and Parigini acting as mezzali.

Longo will have to make a decision on the midfield shortly, also considering that Como will have to face a difficult match against Empoli, who are fourth in the standings and are coming from a 2-0 home win against Cosenza.
