Roma coach Jose Mourinho hit out at their schedule after drawing 1-1 with AC Milan.

Mourinho detailed their injury crisis after the game.

I don't think we will see Rick Karsdorp on the field again this season. The same goes for Diego Llorente, while I doubt Kumbulla will be at 100 per cent again," said Mourinho in his press conference.

We can hope to have Chris Smalling back in two or three games, if possible. Gini Wijnaldum is close to his comeback, I don't know what the situation is with Paulo Dybala. We protected his adductor to get him playing against Atalanta, but he was on the bench and not meant to play. If Milan had scored today, I would not have put him on the pitch.

Nemanja Matic is suspended against Monza, so we have to just keep going. I have been a coach at clubs that had 1,000 options, now I am in a group of extraordinary lads and I am proud to be working with them.

Andrea Belotti couldn't breathe after that blow to the ribs, he climbed up the stairs for the second half and raised the white flag, it was impossible to continue."

Mourinho also took aim at Juventus being reinstated their 15 points after their original penalty was overturned on appeal.

He stated: "When we talk about the sporting justice system, I say they owe me two games. I was banned against Sassuolo and Lazio, now Serra has been found guilty, but I can't get those two games back.

Fabio Paratici lost his job at Tottenham, now they have cleared him and he can work again. Juventus first were at -15, now +15, I cannot tell you if it influenced the race of not, as I always did what Allegri said and saw Juventus with the 15 points. It's entertaining."
