Roma coach Mourinho won't rush Wijnaldum playing return

Roma coach Jose Mourinho says Gini Wijnaldum will be gradually introduced.

The PSG loanee is fully fit after recovering from a leg fracture in August.

Mourinho, ahead of their Europa League clash with Salzburg, said: "He won't be a starter tomorrow.

"Let's see game after game. He's training continuously and his work data is positive.

"But training is one thing and match pace is another thing."
