Bologna, Miranda has suffered an injury: when will he return and which matches will he miss?
The Emilia-based club have confirmed a lengthy spell on the sidelines for the Spanish full-back.
Raffaele Palladino has revived Bologna, but the Emilia club's injuries have continued to pile up, just as they did under Tedesco. Roberto Piccoli and Riccardo Orsolini had barely returned when more bad news came during the match against Parma: Spanish full-back Juan Miranda will be sidelined for three weeks through injury.
The statement
The winger suffered a muscle injury and came off in the first half against Parma. His side went on to win 2-1. Scans today confirmed a lesion: "Juan Miranda underwent scans that revealed a grade-one lesion of the biceps femoris in his left thigh; recovery time is around 3 weeks".
When will he return and which matches will he miss?
With the international break coming up, the injury will have less impact. Miranda had become the team's leading assist provider under Palladino, setting up six goals for his team-mates in 10 Serie A matches in 2026/2027.
Palladino will certainly be without him for Bologna-Udinese on 22 November, when play resumes, because of the three-week lay-off. Miranda may be fit for the following round's Friday trip to Venezia on 27 November, but 4 December looks the more likely return date, when Bologna host Roma at the Dall'Ara.
