Matchday squad update: Cagliari vs Como
Venue: Unipol Domus, Cagliari – 7 March 2026, Serie A (Regular Season - 28).
Cagliari come in 13th with 30 points, while high-flying Como sit 5th on 48 points and chasing Europa League qualification.
Cagliari availability
The hosts have several important absences. Andrea Belotti is ruled out with a knee injury, removing an experienced attacking option, while midfielder Mattia Felici is also out with a knee problem. Luca Mazzitelli is sidelined through injury, further thinning the midfield. Up front, Gabriele Borrelli is facing a late fitness test due to a thigh issue. Midfielders Alessandro Deiola and Gianluca Gaetano are likewise doubtful and will require assessment closer to kickoff. On the positive side, key creators Sebastiano Esposito (3 goals, 5 assists) and Marco Palestra (1 goal, 4 assists) are available and expected to shoulder much of Cagliari’s attacking load.
Como availability
Como’s injury list is lighter but not insignificant. Forward J. Addai is ruled out with an Achilles tendon injury, removing depth in the front line. However, the visitors retain their main attacking core: Nicolás Paz (9 goals, 6 assists), Tasos Douvikas (9 goals, 1 assist) and Jesús Rodríguez (1 goal, 7 assists) are all fit and ready.
Impact summary
Cagliari are potentially without multiple midfield contributors and a senior striker, while Como lose only Addai and keep over 19 league goals and 18 assists available through Paz, Douvikas, Rodríguez, Perrone and Caqueret.
