Como vs RB Leipzig: result, lineups and stats

Como

Luis Milla was a substitute against Genoa and is competing with Máximo Perrone for a holding midfield place against RB Leipzig. Perrone is expected to start, but the choice remains open. Both have started twice in Como's last three matches, with Milla coming off the bench in the most recent game.

On the right wing, Assane Diao is expected to keep his place. He has two goals and an assist in Como's last three matches and would offer continuity in attack while the decision over the holding midfield position remains unsettled.

RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig still have a decision to make at left centre-back for the trip to Como. Maxime Esteve made his first start against Werder Bremen, but Castello Lukeba is the other candidate for the position after returning to full team training.

Neil El Aynaoui is expected to continue on the right of midfield after also making his first start against Bremen. Rocco Reitz, who had occupied that position in the previous match, is unavailable with a muscle injury.

Christopher Nkunku is another player expected to retain his place after his first start in the latest game. He supplied one assist and had two of his four shots on target across Leipzig's opening two matches.
