Moise Kean, Como's new striker, has injured his tibia again, an injury that already kept him off the pitch during the previous season at Fiorentina. The injury, which prevents him from playing for at least five weeks, forces him to suspend his activity until the home match against Bologna, scheduled for 12 December, the penultimate of the calendar season. With the lack of goals and physical problems, the prospect of finishing the year without scoring is real and surprising for the club's fans.
Kean's difficulty in finding space on the pitch is also due to the presence of an "offensive totem" at the center of the team: the young Douvikas, who seems more suited to technical and collaborative football, occupied the role of dominant striker. This situation, combined with injuries, prevented the midfielder from emerging as the main striker. The result is a year of 2026 at Como which could end with a "zero" in the goals table, an unexpected result even for the most pessimistic.
The reason for this disappointment is further accentuated by the fact that Kean represents the second most expensive investment in the club's history. Como acquired the player from Fiorentina in a loan agreement with obligation to buy, which includes a payment of €35 million plus €5 million in bonuses. The only more expensive transfer was that of Nico Paz, purchased from Real Madrid. Despite the importance of his role for the Italian national team, Kean will have to work hard to return to form and contribute to Como's success in a competitive context.
With Kean's absence, Como will have to rely on Douvikas and other attackers to maintain offensive competitiveness. The club will have to manage the situation carefully, trying to minimize the impact of his absence on the team's performance. Kean's future at Como remains uncertain, but his ability to recover and return to fitness will be crucial for the remainder of the season.
