Siniša Mihajlović, the Bologna manager, provided an injury update ahead of their clash with Atalanta.
“Bit by bit, we’re getting all of these players back. It’s important that [Mitchell] Dijks returned to the pitch today [against Torino]," Mihajlović said.
"He’ll still need a bit of time to get back to full fitness. The older guys always set a good example for the younger lads.
"I hope that [Riccardo] Orsolini can pay on Wednesday, for 20-30 minutes at least, then I hope the rest are back after the break.”
