Mourinho wishes Vasco Sousa quick recovery: "Top player, great lad" | OneFootball

Upon taking the position, he promised to intervene in the team and is now preparing some changes. What will the starting eleven be tomorrow? Leandro Barreiro is a confirmed absence: “Leandro is out tomorrow and on Monday we’ll see how he is. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Vasco Sousa a speedy recovery, he’s a great player and seems like a great kid. From me and from all of us, we hope everything goes well and that he recovers quickly. Tomorrow, whoever isn’t on the field will be on the bench. We won’t take it easy, we’re going to make changes to give some players who deserve it more playing time. It’s not a matter of anyone needing to rest. There are two or three players who won’t play, they’ll be on the bench. Having them on the bench gives a certain security. In the case of Atlético, I had to make four changes at halftime; tomorrow I hope I won’t have to, but if I do, I will. Winning in 90 minutes is better than in 120. It’s another trip, we don’t have the chance to play at home. In the first draw it was Mário Branco, in the second it was Mr. Humberto Coelho, when there’s another draw someone luckier will have to go, as we always end up playing away.”
