The surprising absence of Como star Nico Paz from the starting eleven in the 3-1 victory over Lecce was due to a disciplinary sanction imposed by coach Cesc Fàbregas. Initially, it was thought that the coach's decision was motivated by the proximity of the Coppa Italia semi-final match against Inter, scheduled for Tuesday. However, before the game, Fàbregas denied this version without specifying the true reason. Nevertheless, according to Sky Italia, the exclusion of the attacking midfielder from the starting lineup was a disciplinary measure due to his tardiness for a team dinner. Thus, Nico Paz was not a starter for the second consecutive game, having been suspended for accumulating yellow cards in the 2-0 victory over Juventus. This season, the 21-year-old Argentine, who is already secured by Real Madrid for next season, has scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in 29 matches.
