AS Roma Boss Jose Mourinho jumps to the defence of Afena-Gyan following rumours he injured Gini Wijnaldum


Read Time: < 1 minute

Jose Mourinho has defended Ghanaian forward Felix Afena-Gyan against critics for blaming the youngster for Gini Wijnaldum’s injury.

Rumuors were ripe in Italy that the teen sensation is responsible for the Dutchman’s latest injury setback.

However, Mourinho has referred to the reports as scum and does not believe fans of the club have turned their back on the 19-year-old for such malicious rumuors.

“Sometimes football can be sh*t. In only 2 weeks, Gini became one of us because of his human qualities (his football qualities we already knew). Sadly, In a very unfortunate accident he had a bad injury that will keep him away from playing for a long time,” wrote Mourinho on his Instagram page.

“But it’s not just football to be shit sometimes, people can also be… Those who initiated the rumours that a top kid like Felix could be responsible for what happened are real scum. Let’s all be together tonight: we play for  AS Roma, for Wijnaldum and for Afena-Gyan,” he added.

Felix Afena-Gyan and his AS Roma teammates will welcome Cremonense at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night.
