  After sitting out for over two years with injury problems, Dele returned to the football pitch on March 15 as he debuted for the Serie A side. His maiden game, however, turned out to be a disaster as he was sent off for a high challenge on Ruben Loftus-Cheek within 10 minutes of coming off the bench. Despite the disappointing start, Como president Mirwan Suwarso backed the English midfielder to shine in Italy.
