Como coach Cesc Fabregas faces a stern test as his side prepare to meet Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma on Serie A matchday six, the first fixtures after the international break, with the result set to gauge his team's progress and his early tenure.

Press conference sets tone

On the eve of the match, Cesc Fabregas addressed the media, acknowledging the challenge ahead. He said, “Roma are great, but we will do our best,” and praised Gian Piero Gasperini as a great coach. Fabregas added that the encounter “has many elements that spark debate” and stressed the need for a strong performance.

Tomorrow, Como travel to face Gasperini’s Roma in a lunchtime fixture on Serie A’s sixth matchday, the first games after the international break. The clash will be played under the spotlight as both sides look to cement their early‑season ambitions.

The club described the day as a tough one for Como, with the pressure of facing a top‑flight opponent looming. Fabregas indicated that the team will aim to “play our game” and deliver a performance that reflects their preparation.

In related news, Roma striker Moise Kean will miss the upcoming match, sidelined for a week or ten days after a major knock sustained against Belgium. He had completed the full ninety minutes before the injury, and an MRI performed yesterday confirmed the problem. Fabregas noted that communication between the federation and the club could be improved.

Como will look to implement Fabregas’s tactical plan tomorrow, hoping to challenge the visitors despite Kean’s absence. The result will provide an early indicator of how the new coach’s ideas translate on the pitch.
