Baturina returns to the starting XI after he was rested against Roma, with Kaiki Bruno moved into a more advanced role with Assane Diao. There is a change in goal with Robert Sanchez, who makes only his second appearance since the loan move from Chelsea. His other game was a 2-1 Serie A victory over Parma on September 14. ITALY – SEPTEMBER 14: Kaiki of Como 1907 is challenged by Sascha Britschgi of Parma Calcio 1913 during the Serie A match between Como 1907 and Parma Calcio at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on September 14, 2026 in Italy.

Coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst has quite a few injuries to deal with, missing Goncalo Borges, Shaqueel van Persie, Bart Nieuwkoop, Reiss Nelson, Gijs Smal, Jakub Moder, Jordan Bos and Thomas Beelen. Japan international defender Tsuyoshi Watanabe is also not at 100 per cent with muscular issues. Captain Luciano Valente’s father is Italian, so he played for Italy at youth level before switching to the Netherlands in 2025. Algeria international Anis Hadj Moussa completes the attack with Nacho Ferri.
