Bologna, Odgaard blow: the Dane out for a month due to injury

Bologna, 6 February 2025 – Another blow for the Bologna. After Ursu e Ferguson, Jens also stops OdgaardThe Dane, who left the Bergamo match in a bad way at the end of the first half (after a lightning recovery attempt on Zappacosta), underwent specific tests in the hours following the match to understand the extent of the injury, and the diagnosis, following these, was not at all easy for the rossoblù striker.

"Second degree injury to the left hamstring, with recovery times of approximately 4 weeks", this is what Bologna wrote in its daily report, putting down in black and white a piece of news that fans, coach and teammates would have gladly done without knowing, given the importance of Odgaard in Vincenzo Italiano's chessboard: the extra man, the player of junction between midfield and attack, with his insertions and his conclusions towards the goal. And, above all, his numbers - 3 goals and 4 assists this season - are anything but trivial.

An absence that weigh, indeed, with the former AZ Alkmaar player who will be forced to miss the matches against Lecce (this Sunday at 18pm at the Via Del Mare), Turin (Friday 14 February in advance at the Dall'Ara), Parma, the recovery match against Milan on the 26th and, probably, also the home match against Cagliari on March 2nd, even if everything will be done to try to shorten recovery times and get it back as soon as possible.

After Bergamo dream night, with the passage to the semi-finals of Coppa Italia, the bitter reality and the injured players count. It will now be up to Vincenzo Italiano to make up for Odgaard's absence in the best way, continuing to guarantee quality and quantity to his team's play.

Meanwhile, Lewis Ferguson and Riccardo Orsolini continue to train separately, and are trying to set their sights on the challenge against Torino, even if it is still too early to tell.

In the morning, moreover, it was designated the referee of Sunday's match in Salento: Fourneau from Rome will whistle, assisted by Cecconi and Bercigli, with fourth official Rutella and VAR officials Fabbri and Meraviglia.
