Como away ticket details announced for Serie A visit

Gianluca Mancini will start and wear the captain's armband for Roma's trip to Como, restoring him to the leadership role after a mixed opening to the season. The centre-back has faced criticism from supporters for defensive errors against Fenerbahce and Inter, though he was a standout performer in the victory over Torino. He also received scrutiny in international play for his marking on Godts during Belgium's goal at the Olimpico. Gasperini retains full faith in Mancini, who remains a trusted figure at the club. With Bryan Cristante unavailable and Lorenzo Pellegrini on the bench, the captain's armband passes to Mancini for the fixture. Como, managed by Fabregas, will present a stern test, particularly against Ramon—the midfielder with whom Mancini clashed in their previous meeting last season. The contest carries significant weight in the title race. Mancini reflected on that earlier confrontation: "There was a collision in play with Ramon, normal things. He grabbed me by the neck, and at 20 years old I had far more respect for older players, otherwise I would have taken a few slaps in the tunnel. I told Ramon to stay calm and not get angry. It happens after the match." After the previous fixture, Fabregas approached Mancini to discuss the incident, though the exchange lasted only seconds. The two will face each other again in the coming match.

Roma held a training session at Trigoria on Friday 2 October, with director of sport Vincenzo D'Amico present alongside head coach Gian Piero Gasperini as the club prepares for the resumption of Serie A action. Three players were absent from the session due to injury: Bryan Cristante, Donyell Malen and Wesley. Cristante's situation is the most concerning. The midfielder is suffering from knee inflammation, and his availability for the away fixture against Como on 11 October appears very unlikely. The injury threatens to affect his readiness for Roma's Champions League match against Real Madrid just three days after the Como game. Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini trained regularly with the group and are both working to build their fitness during the international break, aiming to increase their influence in Gasperini's plans for the Como match. Roma face a demanding run of matches after the domestic season resumes, and the medical staff will continue monitoring the injured players as they seek to have as many men available as possible for the opening stretch of the campaign.

Roma have placed two players in Serie A's ideal Under-23 formation based on Sofascore ratings from the opening phase of the 2026-27 season. Wesley and Emanuele Lulli were selected among the league's best young performers, a recognition that underscores the growing importance of youth in Gian Piero Gasperini's squad. Wesley's inclusion confirms the impact the Brazilian has made since arriving at Roma. The defender has carved out a significant role in Gasperini's setup, displaying qualities well suited to the coach's tactical demands. His selection highlights his emergence as one of Serie A's standout young players in the early stages of the campaign. Lulli, a 2007-born product of Roma's academy, has emerged as one of the season's surprises for the Giallorossi. After stepping up to the first team, the young defender has responded on the pitch and earned his place among the league's best Under-23 performers according to Sofascore data, signalling his continued development under Gasperini's management.
