Official: Bologna-Milan postponed after venue change attempts fail | OneFootball

AC Milan’s game against Bologna has been postponed nearly 26 hours before kick-off, a frustratingly long decision, but an expected one nevertheless.

Last night it emerged that the game was to be called off after the mayor signed an ordinance that the game was not to be played due to weather concerns which would affect the game itself, and other key variables such as traffic and fans.

However, there were repeat attempts made to find another solution, and it seemed that all parties were favouring a move to a different menu, or potentially even playing the game behind closed doors, but this has been to no avail.

As reported by Antonio Vitiello, the game has been postponed to a later date – which could be as long as six months away. Both Milan and the League made repeated attempts to change the venue of the game, and with the crowded calendars of both clubs, it makes it difficult to find a new date.

Due to the game being postponed, it now means that Tijjani Reijnders and Theo Hernandez will miss the vital game against Napoli as speculated earlier, which is a massive blow to the Diavolo, making it easy to see why as many attempts were made to change things.
