Roma without Paulo Dybala in Serie A clash with Milan

Roma are 5th in Serie A after 31 games, level on points with AC Milan (4th on 56 points), just ahead of the league fixture scheduled for April 29.

The team coached by Jose Mourinho lost on Monday night away to Atalanta (3:1) and lost the chance to move up in the standings.

However, the “Roma” coach was satisfied with the performance of his wards. However, the Special One is worried about the game against Milan, but even so, the Portuguese was all smiles at the post-match press conference in Bergamo.

“If I have to, I can play, no problem. This group is united and reacts together in difficult times. The fans are also proud. It is difficult for me to criticize this team that plays within our framework. As for the attitude, I can’t say anything to those who played.

For some teams, not having a player is a small problem, for us it is a big problem. We can’t count on Smalling, Llorente who adapted well and is now out, Mancini too, Dybala finished the match limping…

Maybe if we had lost to Feyenoord, it would have allowed us to fight more to the end in the championship, but I repeat that I am happy with the boys.” – said Jose Mourinho after the match with Atalanta.
