Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano was delighted with Lewis Ferguson's return for Saturday's win against Lecce.
Fully recovered from ACL surgery, Ferguson was an 82nd substitute for the 1-0 victory.

Italiano later said: “I’m happy about Ferguson because I could already feel what he meant to the dressing room when I first got here. We were able to use him to give Freuler a break today.
“We’re getting a great player back, a strong personality in the locker room.
"He doesn’t have more than 20 minutes in his legs at the moment, so we preferred to put him in a position where he could get a lot of touches of the ball, like he did.”
