It has been quite the ride for the Lariani, who were in Serie B just three years ago, and now find themselves basking in a 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in their first ever Champions League fixture.

Now Cesc Fabregas warns they need to focus on Serie A, after back-to-back wins over Napoli and Genoa.

Jayden Addai remains the only absentee, but summer signing Kean gets his first start in place of Tasos Douvikas.

Nico Paz, Baturina and Assane Diao all retain their spots after the success against RB Leipzig on Thursday, where Como were the only Serie A side to win in Champions League Matchday 1.

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who arrived surprisingly on loan from Chelsea, makes his debut.

Parma, on the other hand, have just one point from the opening three rounds, earned in a 1-1 draw with Monza.

That was also their only goal of the Serie A season, confirming where the problems lie.

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia is a long-term absentee following surgery, but Simone Lontani is back in the starting XI after some impressive Coppa Italia performances.

Giovanni Fabbian and David Romero are benched in favour of Nesta Elphege and El Bilal Toure, while Diego Carlos faces his former club.
