Football Italia reports that Bologna will be without Jens Odgaard for around four weeks after he suffered a serious thigh injury in training. The Danish forward was said to have felt a twinge before being diagnosed with a lesion to the flexor in his right thigh.
The report says Odgaard is expected to miss Serie A matches against Lecce, Inter and Cagliari. It adds that much of his recovery period falls during the international break, which gives Bologna some time before the next run of fixtures.
Almost Signed analysis: if the timeline holds, the earliest possible return point mentioned in the report is Bologna’s trip to Milan on 28 October. That would make the injury a short but important availability problem rather than a longer-term absence.
