Nico Paz
Como moved past their elimination in the Coppa Italia semifinals against Inter by securing a victory over Genoa to keep pace in the race for Champions League qualification. However, Nico Paz caused concern after a head collision with Marcandälli that ended with the Argentine being taken to the hospital.
The incident occurred around the 30th minute, and as he was attended to by Como’s medical staff, *La Gazzetta dello Sport* reported that Nico Paz “couldn’t see properly.” He attempted to continue and even headed a cross from Álex Valle from the left flank, hitting the post. But at halftime, he did not emerge from the tunnel.
Caqueret replaced him, and when asked about Nico Paz’s condition in the post-match press conference, Cesc Fàbregas revealed, “He’s in the hospital and being evaluated. He’s feeling better, but he couldn’t see well. Still, we need to find solutions,” the Como coach warned.
As of now, Como has not issued a medical report regarding the severity of the injury suffered by Nico Paz, who caused a scare at Luigi Ferraris and, to some extent, dampened the triumph over Genoa. However, reports from Italy indicate that he has already been discharged and will return home with the rest of the squad.
