Notable for the upcoming match, former Hibernian players Kieron Bowie and Josh Doig will join the Sassuolo squad as they head to Bergamo.
Scott McTominay, a standout player from Napoli, is considered a key Scottish attraction. Additionally, Billy Gilmour is making a return from a knee injury that kept him out of the World Cup and aims for increased involvement under new coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Meanwhile, Lewis Ferguson, who won the Coppa Italia in 2025, gears up for his fifth season with Bologna.
