Nico Paz Injury Update: Como Star Taken to Hospital After Head Clash vs Genoa

Nico Paz gave Como fans a major scare on Sunday when he was rushed to the hospital mid-match after a head collision left him struggling to see properly.

Is Nico Paz Injured? Como Star Hospitalised But Given All-Clear After Vision Scare

The Nico Paz injury scare unfolded during Como's impressive 2-0 victory at Stadio Luigi Ferraris against Genoa, a result that moved Fabregas' side to within two points of fourth-place Juventus in the Serie A table. Paz collided heads with Genoa defender Alessandro Marcandalli and was substituted at half-time after telling medical staff he "couldn't see properly" out of one eye, a symptom serious enough to warrant an immediate hospital visit.

Sky Sport Italia later confirmed the 21-year-old was discharged after being given a clean bill of health, with manager Cesc Fabregas providing a cautious but reassuring update in his post-match press conference.

The incident highlights just how irreplaceable Nico Paz has become at Como. The Argentine has registered 13 goals and eight assists across all competitions this season, creating a team-leading 48 chances in Serie A alone. Crucially, Como have won just one of the four league games he has missed, a statistic that speaks volumes about his importance as the club chases a historic Champions League qualification.
