Bologna FC faces squad rotation and player challenges

Bologna FC is navigating shifts in player roles and squad dynamics under coach Raffaele Palladino. Young Venezuelan midfielder Marco Libra Alvarado, born in 2008, is gaining increased responsibility and adapting to new tactical roles within the team following a strong pre-season performance.

In contrast, Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk has struggled to secure consistent playing time. Despite joining the club in the summer, Dovbyk has made only four appearances, totaling 98 minutes, and has yet to start a match. Reports suggest his limited involvement may be linked to training attitudes, as Palladino has opted for other attacking options such as Roberto Piccoli, Jens Odgaard, and Federico Bernardeschi during Dovbyk's absences.
