Martin Frese, Abdou Harroui, Daniel Mosquera and Suat Serdar are nursing injuries. Casper Tengstedt was an unused substitute against Juventus last week but could start.
Bologna, meanwhile, have lost one of their last 13 games across competitions. They have won three of their last four league games, scoring seven times.
Emil Holm is back in training and could feature from the bench. Giovanni Fabbian is nursing a knock and will likely be rested. Remo Freuler was booked last week and is suspended.
