Roma, Jose Mourinho announces three recoveries

Jose Mourinho’s words ahead of Bayer Leverkusen v Roma

On the eve of the Europa League semifinals return match against Bayer Leverkusen, Roma coach Jose Mourinho, during the pre-match press conference, wanted to shed light on the injury issue.

“Dybala, Smalling and El Shaarawy are available. However, it will be necessary to understand their minutes, as Smalling has not trained with the team for three weeks and Dybala has not gone beyond 30′ in the last outings,” said the Portuguese coach.

“Having played the first match at home was very difficult for us mentally. Tomorrow we will need an extraordinary match to hope to go to the final. The boys and our fans would deserve this achievement, but in soccer nothing and nobody gives you anything, so we will have to try to be perfect while respecting our opponent,” added Jose Mourinho.
