The bad injury news just keeps piling up for Bologna, as the club confirmed Jonathan Rowe will be out for three weeks.
The Rossoblu beat Napoli 2-0 at the weekend in Serie A to climb the table, but it came at a huge cost for the squad.
Goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski will be out of action for circa 45 days with a medium-high grade lesion of the flexor in the right thigh.
Now a statement from the medical staff also announced that winger Rowe will was diagnosed with a low grade lesion of the femoral bicep in the right leg.
The verdict is that he will be sidelined for around three weeks.
It is a blow for the 22-year-old England Under-21 international, who had started the season with Olympique Marseille.
He was frozen out of the squad following a locker room brawl with then-teammate Adrien Rabiot, and sold to Bologna for €17m plus bonuses on August 24.
Rowe has made only nine competitive appearances in the Bologna jersey between Serie A and the Europa League, starting just four of those games.
The forward is yet to make a single goal contribution.
