Jose Mourinho blasts Roma star for "psychological frailty" after refusing late penalty

Jose Mourinho has slammed a second Roma player just four days after vowing to sell a member of his squad because they "betrayed" their teammates.

The Giallorossi boss made headlines last week for outing the unnamed player, believed to be Dutch defender Rick Karsdorp, and now a different Roma star has felt his wrath. Following his side's dramatic 1-1 draw with Torino on Sunday, Mourinho claimed that someone had turned down the opportunity to take a 92nd-minute penalty when the Serie A giants were still trailing in the game.

Andrea Belotti stepped up instead but agonisingly hit the post. Fortunately for the Italian striker, his manager - who was sent off late in the game for his protests towards referee Antonio Rapuano - had no issue with his miss, especially after ex- Chelsea and Manchester United stalwart Nemanja Matic grabbed the all-important equaliser two minutes later.
