Juan Miranda out three weeks with Bologna through injury

Juan Miranda will miss three weeks through injury, just as he is enjoying his best spell at Bologna. The left-back has six assists in 10 Serie A matches, the same number he managed in his best previous season (24/25, with six in 38 games).

According to SofaScore data reported by Diario AS, he completes more successful long passes than any other full-back in the league (55%), ranks second for won defensive duels (61%) and is his team's best dribbler (71% completed). He has also reached a top speed of 36.1 km/h.

Coach Raffaele Palladino deserves part of the credit: he has given Miranda confidence and let him play the way he knows, with more freedom going forward. Renewed until June 2028, a move to another league next summer is already being discussed, although it won't be cheap.
