Bologna, Riccardo Orsolini at high risk for Juventus

Rest day for Bologna after its 4-0 Coppa Italia victory over Monza, but not for Riccardo Orsolini.

The Rossoblù number 7, the protagonist of the 2-0 goal against the Brianzoli and author of the seventh goal of the season, suffered a muscle problem in the right flexor during the scoring and this morning è underwent examinations.

Initial findings showed a problem, which will be further investigated tomorrow. Ergo, the Bologna striker will almost certainly miss the challenge with former Thiago Motta's Juventus on Saturday afternoon at 6 p.m.

An MRI will clarify whether the striker will be able to recover for the Champions League challenge with Benfica or at the latest for the league match with Fiorentina, or whether the stop will have to be longer. Also at risk is Thijs Dallinga, who will be reevaluated tomorrow by virtue of a calf problem.
