(Reuters) - AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho bemoaned his fifth-placed side's injury problems after two more players suffered problems in Monday's costly 3-1 Serie A loss away to Atalanta.
Defender Diego Llorente limped off in pain, while forward Paulo Dybala had trouble with his ankle after a heavy tackle.
The latest injuries add to the manager's concerns as Rick Karsdorp, Chris Smalling and Georginio Wijnaldum are all sidelined at a time when Roma face important matches. "Smalling is Smalling, Diego was adapting very well and now he too is out. Obviously, it will be very tough for us." “We have to think game after game, with the risk of not making it to the Champions League, but there is also the chance of winning the Europa League," said Mourinho.
