Artem Dovbyk
BOL
No time from bench
Dovbyk (thigh) was unused from the bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw against AC Milan.
Analysis: Dobvyk was not able to get on the field despite his return to the team sheet Sunday, going unused following his thigh injury. The good news is he was back on the bench after missing their past two games, using the break to recover. He has only appeared from the bench in his three appearances this season, although he does have a goal in his 84 minutes of play.
Will return after the break
Dovbyk (thigh) trained with no limitations Monday, Bologna announced.
Analysis: Dovbyk sat out the last two games because of muscle fatigue, but he quickly returned to full training after the most recent one, and he'll have a couple of weeks to get completely healthy and win over a new coach after operating behind Roberto Piccoli so far. He has scored once and notched four shots (one on target) and one chance created in his three cameos.
Absent again versus Torino
Dovbyk (thigh) hasn't been called up for Saturday's game against Torino.
Analysis: Dovbyk will miss the second game in a row while tending to a mild muscular problem. Roberto Piccoli, Jens Odgaard and Jay Enem will be the options in his role in relief. He shouldn't have trouble returning after the break.
Ruled out for Napoli game
Dovbyk will miss Sunday's clash versus Napoli due to thigh muscle fatigue, Bologna announced.
Analysis: Dovbyk is dealing with an ailment and won't be risked in this one. He'll be re-evaluated ahead of next Saturday's home game versus Torino. He has come off the bench twice behind Roberto Piccoli. Jens Odgaard also has some experience as a no.9 in the past but has been playing in the midfield lately.
Scores late equalizer in 2-2
Dovbyk scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Sassuolo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.
Analysis: Dovbyk scored in the 91st minute to bring the game back to 2-2. He also got booked in the celebrations that followed. This was the forward's first goal since joining Bologna and is still waiting on his first start for the club. He only managed to start trhree fames for Roma last season, scoring three goals in his total of 387 minutes. Having been on the bench for the first three games this season, he will look to break into the starting lineup soon.
Joins Bologna
Dovbyk is moving to Bologna on loan with an option to buy from Roma.
Analysis: Dovbyk is replacing Santiago Castro, who's going in the other direction, as the top center-forward. He'll look to bounce back from an injury-riddled campaign, as he played just 18 times (six starts) last year, failing to produce for the most part, since he posted three goals, two assists, 15 shots (seven on target) and 20 chances created. He had hit the net 12 times in 32 Serie A appearances in 2024/2025. He'll split up duties with Thijs Dallinga at this new club.
Inserted late against Lazio
Dovbyk (thigh) had two shots (one on target) and two passes in two minutes in Sunday's 2-0 win over Lazio.
Analysis: Dovbyk was moderately active in a very short stint off the bench in his first appearance since early January. He'll have a limited role in the final game as well. He had struggled to produce before sustaining a severe thigh problem this campaign, scoring three goals, providing two assists and notching 15 shots (seven on target) and 22 chances created in 17 outings (six starts).
Shakes off major thigh issue
Dovbyk (ankle) has logged multiple full training sessions this week and could be called up for Sunday's derby with Roma, TeleRadioStereo reported.
Analysis: Dovbyk has been absent since early January because of a severe thigh injury that required surgery. He'll back up Donyell Malen alongside Robinio Vaz if indeed available. He has assisted once and added three shots (one on target), six chances created and one cross (zero accurate) in his last five showings (two starts).
