Moise Kean is expected to miss around five weeks after specialist treatment in Barcelona, leaving Como without their striker for a key stretch and ruling him out of Italy's November Nations League matches. The club said he was treated at the Institut Cugat for a recent tibia injury, with the recovery period estimated at around five weeks.
Barcelona treatment and the five-week estimate
Como 1907's statement, reported by Foot Mercato, said the treatment was a success and that the convalescence period will be assessed daily depending on clinical progress. Sky Sport Italia also reported that Kean underwent treatment in Barcelona for a shin problem, which matches the club's line on the injury.
The five-week estimate is the important part because it pushes the timeline beyond several immediate fixtures. Como are home to Venezia on 1 November, away to Lens on 4 November and away to Inter on 8 November. Italy then face France on 12 November and Belgium on 15 November.
Kean's absence is a problem for both clubs. He has made only 3 Serie A appearances for Como this season and just 1 in the Champions League, so the setback lands before he has built much momentum in either competition. Como sit 4th in Serie A, and Italy are 2nd in their Nations League group.
The open question is whether the recovery stays close to that five-week mark or drifts beyond it. The only firm update so far is the club's estimate, and that already takes Kean out of Como's next three matches and Italy's November window.
