Players

Squad information

Lega Serie A had limited the squad to the maximum of 25 players, including at least 4 home grown players and 4 additional club-trained players (marked as CT). However, under-21 players (born 1995 or after in this season; marked as U21) were not limited.[3] Mirante was left out from the squad list due to injury from September to 20 November,[4] plus one unknown player was not registered (Acquafresca according to report[5]), making Bologna squad was composite of 23 players that over 21 of age, including 2 players trained by Bologna, from September 2016 to January 2017. Bologna reinstated Mirante by replacing Gomis in November, thanks to a clause in the regulation that allow to swap goalkeeper even out of transfer window,[3] which Gomis replaced Mirante again in Italian Cup once. After the winter transfer window Bologna squad was trimmed to 20 players plus 6 Under-21 players.
