Fabregas: Paz not good enough... yet!
3 Jan
Summary
- Nico Paz will start on the bench for Como against Udinese.
- Fabregas cited illness and lack of training as reasons for Paz's benching.
- Paz is expected to be introduced in the second half to make an impact.
Como's star player Nico Paz will begin today's Serie A match against Udinese on the bench. Coach Cesc Fabregas lightheartedly remarked that Paz was "not good enough" to start, but quickly clarified the situation with a more serious explanation.
Paz's absence from the starting lineup is attributed to a lack of full-week training, an incomplete recovery from the previous match against Lecce, and ongoing physical issues including quadriceps problems and recent bouts of diarrhea. Fabregas stated Paz is recovering but did not train sufficiently.
Despite not starting, Paz is slated to be introduced in the second half. Fabregas views this as an opportunity for other players to start and for Paz to come on and influence the game, aiming to leverage his six goals and six assists from 16 Serie A appearances this season.
