Roma coach Mourinho pleased to get Wijnaldum on pitch for Lecce draw

Roma coach Jose Mourinho was happy with Gini Wijnaldum's return for their draw with Lecce.

It was the PSG loanee's first appearance since an August leg fracture.

Mourinho said: "Gini played his first 10 minutes, he lacks intensity and pace, but (Andrea) Belotti is finally reaching a physical level that can make him a useful player for us.

“Now the big problem starts with the Europa League, trying to play three games per week."
