Mourinho confirms Roma midfielder will miss the game against Milan

AC Milan are currently preparing to face Torino on Saturday evening but some focus has shifted to next week’s game against Roma. Today, Jose Mourinho confirmed that one of his midfielders will miss out. 

Stefano Pioli and his men will be looking to claim their second consecutive win tomorrow evening, taking on Torino in front of a sold-out San Siro. Then, before the international break, they will face Roma away from home.

During his press conference earlier today (via RomaPress), Jose Mourinho was asked about the condition of Renato Sanches who was forced to leave a training session. The manager confirmed that he will miss the Milan game.

“We have worked well over the last week. We will have Dybala and Pellegrini back with us. Although Renato Sanches is out. He had a small physical problem. I expect him to be out until after the break. It’s better not to rush him,” he stated.

The Portuguese midfielder arrived at the club this summer from Paris Saint-Germain and he has been struggling with injuries all of his career. This is something Milan fans are very familiar with, given their interest in the player last summer.
