When asked if it is hard to keep players in the side when they are not starting, Mourinho said: “It is not hard, it is impossible.
“It depends on the nature of the player.
“The way Myhki [Mkhitaryan] dealt with it, is different to other players.
“He realized he was not ready for this reality – physical, mental, competitiveness.
“Also his body, to adapt to that intensity with little time to recover from match to match, is hard,”
It is true that Henrik has missed quite a few games through injury since joining us, but when he has played he has seemed alert, talented and intelligent. Is Mourinho just being spiteful?
