Como vs Manchester United faces ‘severe weather’ postponement risk and possible replay date in the Champions League
Severe rain and lightning could force UEFA to move the match to the following day, with over 6 cm of rain forecast before kickoff.
- Manchester United travels to Italy on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, to face Como in the UEFA Champions League, with manager Michael Carrick contending with a potential absence of up to 10 senior players.
- Nine first-team players are sidelined by injury, while defender Leny Yoro remains suspended following his red card in last week's defeat to Atletico Madrid.
- Carrick confirmed Matthijs de Ligt is available to start, marking the Dutch defender's potential return after 11 months away due to injury and surgery.
- United's 1-1 draw against Leeds United last weekend extended the team's winless run to six matches across all competitions, intensifying pressure on Carrick to deliver a result.
- Facing a dynamic Como side, Carrick may integrate 19-year-old left-back Harry Amass for his first Champions League start, potentially shifting Noussair Mazraoui to center-back.
