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. Mirante was left out from the squad list due to injury from September to 20 November, plus one unknown player was not registered (Acquafresca according to report), 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, 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.
