Riccardo Orsolini is in the squad for Bologna–Torino on September 19. His inclusion adds an attacking option as Raffaele Palladino prepares for his first match in charge of Bologna.
Selection does not mean a starting place
The squad announcement on September 18 confirms that the winger is included. It does not establish whether he will start or how many minutes he might play. That distinction remains important until the team sheet is released.
A fresh start requiring a response
Bologna approach the match with one point from four league games. A new coach and the return of a familiar attacker create two talking points, but performance will depend on the team as a whole. The next decisive detail is the XI selected to face Torino.

TBO SPORT analysis: structure before speed
For a coaching debut, watch whether the team maintains distances that allow it to attack and defend together. Width, support around the player in possession and protection after losing the ball can reveal more than a formation label. Orsolini provides an extra option, but his presence cannot replace collective connections. The opening match can offer signs of organisation without turning ninety minutes into a final verdict on the entire project. The way Bologna respond during different phases will be particularly useful to follow.
