Bologna are short of options in defence, so Jhon Lucumí might be forced to start as they visit Celta Vigo in the Europa League Round 6.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Estadio Balaídos.
Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano has few options in central defence as Nicolò Casale and Martin Vitik are injured, while Lucumì is not fully fit.
Tuttosport and other reputable Italian media claim that the latter is still expected to start tonight, but if Italiano is forced to rest him, Charalampos Lykogiannis will be moved into a centre-back position.
Scotland international Lewis Ferguson also has a minor fitness issue, so he could be rested, making room for Tommaso Pobega and Nikola Moro in central midfield. Thijs Dallinga is favourite over Santiago Castro in attack having already scored twice and delivered one assist in five European appearances this term.
Lukasz Skorupski is injured, so Tommaso Ravaglia will start in goal for Bologna.
The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 6 in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates for this game and Celtic-Roma via a Liveblog.
