AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho admits he has concerns about squad depth ahead of their Serie A return.
Roma meet Atalanta next after victory in the Coppa Italia midweek against Cremonese.
Mourinho said: “I don't know how we will keep going, there is a very important game to play on Sunday, this is who we've got. If we need (Romelu) Lukaku to play central defence then he will. We play with heart, respect for the club and for the fans.
“We have Atalanta first, then Lazio in the Coppa Italia. Azmoun leaves next week, Mancini is injured and on a yellow card, Paredes and Cristante are on cards, I don't know what condition we'll be in for the games with Lazio and then Milan. All I know is that we give it everything we've got.
“How many clubs can say they have 43 sold out home matches in a row? I too am tired, I ran a few kilometres on that touchline tonight."

Roma don't want to buy the best players but they want to win Serie A. Even when Ancheloti was at Everton, he failed because they didn't buy quality players. Garham Porter failed at Chelsea after his success at Brighton.... dey play, we go see how another manager go make Roma succeed without central defenders and quality midfielders
Say no more, brother. It's a shame for real. How can they expect good results in such a situation

It’s even become a pitiful situation… They cannot register any other player in their Europa League list.. They must sell before they buy… FFP has f***ed them real bad… Apparently they have 1.5 million as budget this January… So yet again, they must sell before they buy… Renato Sanches breathes and he gets injured, Smalling has not played a minute the whole season… Right now they have only 2 CBs… The quality of the team apart from Dybala and Lukaku (Maybe add N’dicka) is not good at all… Anyways, no need lamenting… When you do your best, GOD does the rest.
It is a pity 😕 for real. I feel sorry for Mourinho. He doesn't deserve such chaos situation.

I heard Roma are talking to Alonso. What Alonso is doing at Leverkusen is never a yardstick to be a good manager. He has to do that 2, 3 or 4 times to confirm his tactics.Gerard did that in Scotland and later failed, Lampard did that in Chelsea and later failed... I don't wish Alonso bad but let's wait and see.
