Roma coach Mourinho: Abraham and Belotti can play together; I back my 60,000 fans against Real Betis

Roma coach Jose Mourinho insists Tammy Abraham and Andrea Belotti can play in the same team.

Indeed, Mourinho says he would have no problem playing all his attackers together.

At today's Europa League presser for their clash with Real Betis, Mourinho said: "Good players can play together. At first it seemed impossible for many of you to play together Pellegrini, Zaniolo, Dybala and Abraham. Unfortunately an injury here and there didn't allow us to use them all the time, but when we use them they work.

"Abraham and Belotti are two good players and they can play together, it is up to us coaches to find the right solution. For a team playing against Belotti and Abraham together is not easy, but I don't want to say who will play because Real Betis will have many solutions for tomorrow."

On Paulo Dybala, he added: "Paulo is doing well and playing. The difficulty of tomorrow is to play against a quality team, with a clear identity and with great experience. It is a team that has won and in Spain it is not easy if you are not among the three top teams. It will be tough, but it will be tough for them too. Eleven against eleven plus sixty thousand, hoping that they will do theirs because in a week in Seville the Spanish fans will be unleashed. I trust my players and my sixty thousand."
