The Rossoblu have made it into the play-offs, where they will face SK Brann in the first leg away on February 19, then at the Stadio Dall’Ara on February 26.

Coach Vincenzo Italiano announced the changes to the group now that they have moved into the knockout phase, which allows for the January signings to be added.
