Anastasios Douvikas - Starts at forward Douvikas (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Douvikas was deemed fit for Sunday and is an option, with the forward working into a starting role immediately after his ankle injury. He has now started in seven of their past eight games and should maintain this role, with five goals during that span.

Anastasios Douvikas - Available against Atalanta Douvikas (ankle) "trained Saturday and is all good for the Atalanta fixture," coach Cesc Fabregas relayed.

Impact Douvikas turned his ankle in a recent Coppa Italia game, but the issue wasn't severe, and he won't need to spend time on the shelf. He has good chances of staying in the XI over Alvaro Morata and Maxence Caqueret. He has bagged two braces in the last five rounds, adding nine shots (six on target), five chances created and one cross (zero accurate).

Assane Diao - Ways aways from coming back Diao (thigh) "will likely be ready in March, as he'll start training with the group in three weeks since his recovery has taken longer than we anticipated," coach Cesc Fabregas ann...

Impact Diao suffered a thigh injury right before the start of AFCON back in mid-December and isn't yet close to being healthy. He'll also need time to work on his conditioning after being cleared. Martin Baturina, Jesus Rodriguez, Jayden Addai and Nicolas Kuhn will continue to be the top options on the wings for the foreseeable future.

Alvaro Morata - Returns in Coppa Italia match Morata (thigh) came off the bench and scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Fiorentina in the domestic cup.

Impact Morata made his first appearance since seriously hurting his thigh in early December. He'd be the next man up if Tasos Douvikas (ankle) wasn't available against Milan on Tuesday, but it remains to be seen whether he's fit enough to start yet. He has failed to score, assisted once and posted 15 shots (five on target), seven key passes and six crosses (one accurate) in 13 games (eight starts).

Anastasios Douvikas - Subs off early in cup game Douvikas left Tuesday's Coppa Italia match versus Fiorentina in the first half due to an ankle injury, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Douvikas got dinged up in a rough tackle but was able to walk off the pitch on his own, although with a slight limp. He'll need to be assessed before next Sunday's clash with Milan. Alvaro Morata (thigh) returned on the bench in this one, but he might need more time to start. Como recently fielded a formation with Martin Baturina serving as a false-nine.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Addai - Unused sub against Torino Addai (thigh) didn't feature in Saturday's 6-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Addai returned after sitting out nearly two months, but the coach acted cautiously despite the large win. He'll likely have a more inconsistent role going forward compared to when he was last healthy, as Martin Baturina and Jesus Rodriguez have both gotten going on the wings.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Marc Kempf - Shows well in Torino clash Kempf had six clearances and one block and drew one foul in Saturday's 6-0 win against Torino.

Impact Kempf returned to the XI after making way for Diego Carlos in the previous fixture and was more active than Jacobo Ramon in a comfortable contest for the Como defense. He has tallied three or more clearances in his last five outings, amassing 28 and adding eight tackles (four won), two interceptions and two blocks in that stretch, with three clean sheets.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Mergim Vojvoda - Creates three chances against Torino Vojvoda recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 6-0 win over Torino.

Impact Vojvoda returned to defense after playing in more attacking roles in previous tilts, but he was still a considerable part of the offense and paced his team in crosses. He might stay in this position since Martin Baturina is breaking out and Jayden Addai has shaken off an injury up front. He'll compete with Ivan Smolcic and Ignace Van der Brempt. He has notched five chances created, 10 crosses (five accurate) and three tackles (zero won) in the last five fixtures.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Valle - Sets up teammate against Torino Valle assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate), two interceptions and one chance created in Saturday's 6-0 win versus Torino.

Impact Valle pushed the ball forward by winning a tackle in the middle of the pitch, and Martin Baturina took it to the house, leading to his second consecutive assist and his third in the season. He has gotten the nod in back-to-back games after ceding the job to Alberto Moreno. He has sent in one cross in his last three showings (one accurate), posting 10 tackles (six won), 11 clerances and four interceptions and contributing to three clean sheets.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Kuhn - Finds the net in Torino bout Kuhn scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target) and three passes in 22 minutes in Saturday's 6-0 win versus Torino.

Impact Kuhn joined the goal fest and opened his seasonal tally with a majestic lefty curled shot from distance. He has struggled to leave his mark in Serie A so far and has to tussle for minutes with a few teammates who have been way more productive. He has started once in the last five tilts, registering three shots (one on target), two key passes and four crosses (two accurate).

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Maxence Caqueret - Nets and logs helper versus Torino Caqueret scored one goal and assisted once from one shot (one on target) and one chance created in 22 minutes in Saturday's 6-0 win versus Torino.

Impact Caqueret made the most of his minutes by smashing it home from distance and teeing up Nicolas Kuhn on the fifth goal for his side. He has assisted thrice in the last five matches despite coming off the bench in almost all of them. He has had one attempt in each of the last four contests (two on target), adding four chances created, seven crosses (two accurate) and five corners.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Da Cunha - Converts PK and assists in Torino tilt Da Cunha drilled a penalty kick assisted once from one shot (one on target) and two chances created in Saturday's 6-0 win over Torino.

Impact Da Cunha sprung Tasos Douvikas with a great ball over the top on the opening goal and stepped up to the plate instead of Nico Paz, who missed in the previous match, and put his attempt in the top corner, tallying his second goal of the season. He has likely taken over PK duties. He has fired one or more shots in six consecutive matches, piling up eight (four on target) and notching eight chances created, 12 crosses (four accurate) and 11 corners over that span.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Baturina - Delivers again in Torino contest Baturina scored one goal and assisted once from two shots (one on target) and four chances created in Saturday's 6-0 victory against Torino.

Impact Baturina contributed to two goals for the second match in a row, finding the target with a surgical daisy-cutter from mid-range and setting up Tasos Douvikas with a timely through ball. He has registered three or more chances in all his three recent starts, amassing 11 and logging two goals, three helpers and eight crosses (three accurate). He'll have more competition since Jayden Addai returned from injury, but the coach will likely keep riding the hot hand given his recent form.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Anastasios Douvikas - Strikes twice in Torino match Douvikas scored two goals to go with four shots (three on target), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 6-0 victory versus Torino.

Impact Douvikas returned to the stat-sheet after three matches, opening the scoring by beating the offside trap, keeping a defender at bay and finishing with aplomb in front of the goalie and hit the net with an easy effort from inside the box later on. He's up to eight goals in Serie A play thanks to two recent braces. He has taken at least one shot in his last six starts, piling up 13 (eight on target) and adding nine key passes, two crosses and five goals over that span.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Jean Butez - Blanks Torino Butez registered one save and one clearance and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 6-0 win versus Torino.

Impact Butez had an easy day at the office since Como completely dominated in this one and never let the opponents muster any offense. He has kept five clean sheets in the last seven rounds, giving up four goals and making 16 saves. Up next, Como will host Atalanta next Sunday.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Addai - Back to bench Addai (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Torino.

Impact Addai is available but starts on the bench after missing six matches with two consecutive thigh injuries. He has completed his recovery and returned to full team training but is eased back into action as a substitute option as the coach wants to have a cautious approach with the right winger.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Addai - Expected back for Torino tilt Addai (thigh) "should be fit enough to make the bench Saturday," coach Cesc Fabregas announced.

Impact Addai has been ramping up in training after skipping six matches due to two consecutive thigh injuries, but he might not get minutes in his first game back, as the gaffer hinted that they would be cautious. Mergim Vojvoda and Martin Baturina have picked up the slack while Addai was out. He has bagged a brace and posted seven shots (four on target), three chances created and seven crosses (two accurate) in his last five appearances (all starts).

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

He has registered 11 clearances, five crosses and five tackles (for won) since returning to prominence, helping keep one clean sheet.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Mergim Vojvoda - Fairly lively in Milan contest Vojvoda had five crosses (two accurate), one chance created and one corner in Thursday's 3-1 defeat versus AC Milan.
