Fabregas criticizes FIGC over Kean injury handling

Como coach Cesc Fabregas has criticized the Italian football federation for its handling of Moise Kean's injury during the international break. Kean is expected to miss about a week, including Como's upcoming Serie A match against Roma. Fabregas said communication between the club and federation should have been better and described international player management as a new challenge for Como.

Cesc Fabregas, Como’s coach, has voiced displeasure with how the Italian federation managed Moise Kean’s fitness while he was away with his national team. The striker is set to sit out roughly seven days, ruling him out of Como’s weekend Serie A meeting with Roma.

Fabregas noted that Kean absorbed a heavy challenge versus Belgium yet was sent back onto the field. He argued that club and federation officials ought to have communicated more clearly. For Como, whose squad often rotates, coping with international absences is an unfamiliar and demanding adjustment, especially with Kean having arrived late in the transfer window.
