Bologna could go with Thijs Dallinga up front in favour of Santiago Castro for Wednesday evening’s Champions League match at home to Ligue 1 outfit Lille, according to pre-match reports from Sky Sport Italia.
The Rossoblu are still searching for their first goal in the Champions League, having lost all four of their first matches in the competition so far this season.
Bologna are one of six teams in the competition still on zero points after four matches.
