Player Availability for Rescheduled Serie A Fixtures: Bologna-Milan and Fiorentina-Inter
The winter transfer window has closed, bringing significant changes to Serie A team rosters. This raises questions about player eligibility for the rescheduled matches between Bologna-Milan and Fiorentina-Inter. Let’s examine the regulations governing who can play in these fixtures.
Fiorentina vs Inter Milan
This match, originally started on December 1, 2024, will resume on February 6 at 20:45 from the 16th minute. Key points:
- Teams can modify their starting lineups
- New signings are ineligible (e.g., Zaniolo, Ndour, Fagioli, Folorunsho, Zalewski)
- Players suspended for the original fixture or the most recent league game cannot participate
- Players transferred to other clubs are ineligible
Bologna vs AC Milan
This match, postponed entirely, will be played on February 26 or 27. The situation differs:
- All suspensions from the original date have been served
- New signings are eligible (e.g., Gimenez, Joao Felix, Walker, Sottil, Bondo for Bologna; Pedrola and Calabria for Milan)
- Only suspensions incurred before the new date will apply
These regulations ensure fair play while accommodating the changes that have occurred since the original fixture dates.
