Ghana midfielder Godfred Donsah returned from injury to warm the bench for Bologna in their 2-2 draw with Torino.
It was the midfielder's first appearance on the bench for the Gialoblu since suffering two months ago.
The 22-year-old fractured his fibula during Filipo Inzaghi side's pre-season training in Austria.
He was named in the 23-man squad for the match against Torino but could not climb off the bench as the game ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
The former Cagliari midfielder could taste some minutes for the side when they engage US Sassuolo on matchday 10 of the Italian Serie A on Sunday, October 28.
