Juan Miranda suspended: will miss Bologna-Genoa and start of new season

Two match suspension for Juan Miranda: this is what the sports judge decided. Therefore, on the day that will bring down the curtain on the season, the Spaniard will not be available. Nothing Bologna-Genoa for Miranda, who will be on stage at the Dall'Ara on Saturday afternoon at 18pm: this is the program established by the Lega Calcio, given that Bologna is now out of the Champions League games and the Grifone are mathematically safe. Miranda will not be there on the first day of next season either: on Saturday it will be the turn of Lykogiannis, we will see at the first of the new championship: the Greek (31 years old) is in fact out of contract. Olympiakos and Aek Athens are on his trail, he would consider renewing with Bologna, after 7 assists this season, in exchange for a salary of 500 thousand euros. It will be one of the issues related to planning for the future, which also concerns Lorenzo De Silvestri, another player out of contract, a point of reference in Vincenzo Italiano's locker room, who would like to give himself one last year, but it will be necessary to understand if renewals will be proposed for Freuler (2026), Beukema and Skorupski and if they will be signed, while Lucumi, with one year to go until expiry, will be a very likely market man.

It will be too Ursu, it is inevitable that they knock on his door after a record-breaking season with 14 goals in Serie A and 16 in the season, the most prolific Italian of the last three years in Serie A: it remains to be seen whether he will open up. Milan and Napoli like him, but he is the adopted son of Bologna. And by knocking, he should have managed to break down the door of Luciano Spalletti and Italy in view of the matches with Norway and Moldova on 6 and 9 June valid for the world cup qualifiers, despite the coach having given up on the 3 strikers. The rossoblù has shots, a sense of goal, is one of the best penalty takers around and Spalletti will try to reinvent him as a second striker or keep him as a backup weapon, in case of changes in the formation. The players who will be protagonists in the national team will be free from Sunday evening, after the end-of-year team dinner: there will be at least ten of them, also for this reason and for Orsolini the celebrations of the Coppa Italia can take place only between Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon, in the rossoblù plans, to avoid the risk of celebrating without half of the protagonists of the feat.

Tomorrow, meanwhile, the rossoblù will return to work: but the eleven that will challenge Genoa is now the least of the problems, net of the certain absences of Erlic and Pedrola and the probable one of Odgaard.
