Fiorentina rests key players for Coppa Italia clash vs. Como, focusing on Serie A and Europe amid busy schedule.

Fiorentina is fielding a weakened squad for its Coppa Italia match against Como, missing key players due to injury and a pending transfer, prompting coach Paolo Vanoli to give senior debuts to young talents like Luis Balbo. The club is prioritizing Serie A and European duties, sparking fan debate but aiming to manage player workload amid a congested schedule. Como, fresh off a 6-0 win over Torino, enters with momentum and depth, seeking to capitalize on Fiorentina’s absence of stars like Moise Kean and Tariq Lamptey. The outcome could influence squad development, team strategy, and international interest, particularly in markets like the U.S. and Canada, where Serie A’s appeal is growing.
