Bologna midfielder Riccardo Orsolini says coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is always in touch.

Mihajlovic was diagnosed with leukaemia in July, so spent all of pre-season and most of the campaign so far in hospital undergoing two courses of chemotherapy.

“Don't worry, the boss can make himself heard even when he's not physically present," winger Orsolini told DAZN.

“He gave us a good telling off even on Skype! We had some cameras installed at the training ground that allow him to watch our sessions live and give us corrections in real time.

“He might not be physically with us, but he never leaves our side nonetheless."
