Riccardo Orsolini - Takes four shots against Roma Orsolini had four shots (one on goal), one tackle (one won) and one chance created and drew two fouls in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Roma.

He faces less competition with Federico Bernardeschi (hip) on the shelf. He has taken multiple shots in the last four rounds, piling up 13 attempts (four on target), scoring once and adding three chances created, four crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles (one won) during that stretch.

He hasn't kept any clean sheets while filling in for Lukas Skorupski (thigh), making 15 saves, including a PK, and surrendering 17 goals in seven fixtures. Up next, Bologna will host Cagliari on Sunday.

He has been used as a substitute in each of his last four appearances, and a return to that familiar role represents a natural first step in his reintegration into the squad.

He hasn't contributed to a goal in six fixtures, notching 14 shots (two on target), five key passes and one cross (one accurate) during that stretch.

He has surrendered 15 goals and made 15 saves in his last six starts, with no clean sheets. Up next, Bologna will host Roma on Saturday.
