Bologna, Piccoli injured: three matches at risk

Piccoli suffered a right hamstring strain against Inter on Saturday; medical tests today will confirm if he misses three weeks and Bologna's next four fixtures.

Bologna striker Roberto Piccoli picked up a right hamstring strain in the first half of Saturday's match against Inter. Medical examinations are scheduled for today to determine the severity and recovery timeline. The club fears a three-week absence that could rule him out of upcoming matches against Cagliari, Milan, and Monza, with the Parma trip also in doubt. Piccoli has been a regular starter for Bologna this season under both previous and current management, making his potential absence a significant tactical concern for manager Palladino.
