Serie A: Torino vs. Como – Confirmed line-ups and live updates
Como could overtake Juventus into sixth place with a victory away against 12th-placed Torino when the two sides meet in Serie A on Monday evening.
Cesc Fabregas’s side are 10 games unbeaten across all competitions in a run that has included draws away against Atalanta and Napoli, and a 2-0 victory over Juventus in October.
Torino have not lost in six games either, and have picked up encouraging results against Lazio, Napoli and Juventus in the weeks leading up to the recent international break.
The hosts are without Giovanni Simeone in attack, as well as Ivan Ilic, Adrian Ismajli and the long-term absentee Perr Schuurs.
Che Adams is also unavailable with gastroenteritis, pre-match reports confirm. Marco Baroni will turn to captain Duvan Zapata to lead the line instead this evening.
Como are missing Alberto Dossena, Edoardo Goldaniga, Sergi Roberto and Assane Diao through injury. Alvaro Morata starts at centre-forward, with support from Jayden Addai, Nico Paz and Jesus Rodriguez.
Kick-off is due at 17.30 GMT (18.30 CET).
