According to reports in Italy, José Mourinho will punish five Roma players after their disappointing performance against Bodo/Glimt by sending them to the stands against Napoli.
Today, the Giallorossi return to the pitch at 17.00 UK time, hosting the Serie A leaders at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Roma suffered one of the most embarrassing defeats in the club’s history earlier this week by losing 6-1 away against Bodo/Glimt in the Conference League.
Man Utd, Bayern and Fiorentina: Roma’s most embarrassing defeats
Mourinho was clearly not pleased by the result and the performance of many of his players.
Among them, Marash Kumbulla, Amadou Diawara, Riccardo Calafiori, Gonzalo Villar and Borja Mayoral.
Calciomercato.com reports they will pay the highest price for Roma’s humiliating defeat in Europe as Mourinho will send them to the stands for today’s game against Napoli.
They have no injuries or suspensions, but they still won’t be available for the Giallorossi, who have lost two games in a row this week, facing defeats against Juventus in Serie A and Bodo/Glimt in the Conference League.
The Giallorossi sit fourth in the Serie A table, ten points off leaders Milan, who have a game in hand after last night’s win over Bologna.

True that Murinho is a showman and sometimes funny but some Roma players who played against Bodo their performance was zero and some of Murinho comments 🤔 are correct.
Kumbulla is awfull
Regardless of how they played (or didn’t) aginst Bodo, it really seems like Mourinho is determined to lose the dressing room in record time here. Must have gotten a call from Newcastle.
Bodo/Glimt gave Milan a hell of a scare at San Siro just over 12 months ago. What gave Mourinho the idea to start with backup players….only he and himself to blame. It’s an embarrassing result because Roma didn’t take them seriously.
In Mou’s defence, he played against two teams (Bodo and Glimt).
It’s next to impossible for 11 men to win against 22 men regardless of their quality.
sheesh they were bad but there is a line between motivation and destroying their morale
At the moment Newcastle are worse than Roma excluding the 6-1 defeat. And if he goes there I presume that big problems awaits him.
Pretty sure Mourinho won’t last the entire season, gut instinct is January someone else will come in or there will be a caretaker manager appointed…
