The powers that be at Serie B outfit Como have dropped a bombshell ahead of their highly anticipated Sunday clash against Parma, confirming that their star attacker, Nico Paz, will be conspicuously absent from the matchday squad. This is a massive setback for the Italian side, as the Argentine has been the lion. �s share of their creative output this term, and his absence on the pitch will leave a gaping hole in their offensive scheme of things. GoalZaza has exclusively gathered that the club. �s medical team has ruled him out entirely, and in the scheme of things, this development may well tilt the balance of power in favour of the visitors. Paz, who had been in clinical form, was expected to give a good account of himself against Parma. �s formidable defence, but now his boots will remain idle. For Como, the task now is to dig deep and show resilience; at the end of the day, the team must rally around their remaining stalwarts to avoid a damaging defeat. For Nigerian fans following the Serie B action closely, the absence of a player of Paz. �s calibre may not directly involve a Super Eagles star like Victor Osimhen or Victor Boniface at this moment, but it is a reminder of how cruel football can be. When the super Eagles talisman Osimhen was sidelined for Napoli last season, we saw the difference one man can make. This is a similar narrative for Como, who will now look to their Nigerian international fringe players to step up, if they are to keep their promotion hopes alive.
