The Italians announce that Bologna will play with the reserves on Thursday night

“Bologna's first away win of the season, achieved on Sunday at the Unipol Domus stadium against Cagliari, brings with it excitement, confidence and a short break. Coach Vincenzo Italiano has given his players a day of rest, a calculated and planned decision even before leaving for Sardinia, not just a prize. The objective is clear: optimal energy management in a busy period and decisive of the season.

On Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock, the Bologna players will gather to start preparations for the European trip from Bucharest. FCSB awaits them there, in the third stage of the Europa League group stage. It will also be an opportunity to assess the fitness of several players, starting with Ciro Immobile.

The forward, who did not play against Cagliari, could partially return to training with the team as soon as training resumes or on Friday at the latest. The aim is to recover him at least for the next league match, in Florence, given that he is not included in the UEFA list and therefore will not be able to be used in Romania.

Besides Immobile, Sulemana, De Silvestri and Domínguez are also not on the European list. These important absences, combined with the first eleven used in Sardinia and the rotations made by Italiano, pave the way for a likely turnover against FCSB. The idea is to manage certain starters, give minutes to those who have played less and arrive at the Franchi Stadium in top form for the match against Fiorentina, a game with a special meaning for the coach.

In attack, his first minute return is expected Riccardo Orsolini, who remained on the reserve bench at Cagliari. Next to him, for the position of central striker, the fight will be between Dallinga and Castrothe former being the slight favorite due to its features and shape. Defensively, Lucumi will return to the center of defence, while Lykogiannis, a reliable player in European rotations, should appear on the left flank.

In midfield, Nikola Moro could get a shot as a starter. The Croatian has yet to play a minute in the Europa League, but every time he has started in the Championship, Bologna have picked up points. With him on the field from the start, 10 of the 13 points were accumulated. It's a notable statistic that could convince Italiano to bank on him to bring order, quality and freshness to the midfield.

Between what will happen on Tuesday and Wednesday, the technical staff will evaluate the physical condition, the minutes played and the form of the players to determine the starting team for the match in Bucharest. The objective is twofold: to continue the good run after the important success in Cagliari, confirming the team's growth in Europe as well by obtaining the first three points, and to show up in Florence with enthusiasm, conviction and as complete a squad as possible.

Bologna has regained its confidence on the road, and now is the time to turn this spark into a fire that will fuel European ambitions and certainties in the championship”, noted the Italian journalists from the source quoted above.
