By Former England star Dele Alli could make his first appearance for Como this Sunday, after being named in the squad for their tough Serie A clash against Roma. This marks a fresh chapter for the 28-year-old midfielder, who has been out of the spotlight for some time.
Dele’s inclusion comes as Como, under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, looks to steer clear of the relegation zone. Currently sitting seven points above the drop, the team hopes their ambitious winter signings, including Dele, can boost their survival hopes.
The former Tottenham standout joined Como on an 18-month contract, with an option to extend for another year. He arrived in Italy late last year, training with the squad and working on his fitness after a period away from competitive football.
For Dele, this debut would be more than just a first game — it’s a chance to rebuild his career in a new environment, under a manager who knows all about life at the top level. Fabregas has backed the midfielder to rediscover the form that once made him one of England’s brightest talents.
Como’s match against Roma will be a tough test, as the capital club is enjoying strong form. But for Dele, just stepping onto the pitch would be a small victory — and possibly the first step in a much-needed comeback story.
Fans of both Como and Dele will be watching closely, hoping this unexpected Italian adventure can reignite the midfielder’s passion and put him back on the football map.
