Martin Baturina substituted early in Como's win over Parma

Como midfielder Martin Baturina was substituted in the 55th minute during a 2-1 Serie A victory against Parma. While Baturina maintained strong individual statistics prior to his exit—including a 92% pass accuracy and successful dribbling—Italian media reports suggest the early substitution was due to physical health issues, specifically a fever and lingering fatigue from recent Champions League matches.

Como manager Cesc Fàbregas previously praised Baturina’s playing style, describing him as an ‘anarchic’ player with an exceptional sense of the game who avoids unnecessary sprints to conserve energy. Fàbregas noted that squad rotations are necessary due to a congested schedule and that decisions regarding player availability are based on medical recommendations and physical data.
