Jose Mourinho has revealed that he feels betrayed by one of Roma's players following their 1-1 draw to Sassuolo on Wednesday.
The Giallorossi slipped further down the table after their latest draw which comes straight after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio.
Roma initially took the lead through Tammy Abraham only for Sassuolo to equalise with the fullback Rick Karsdorp losing his marker in the build up to the goal.

Following the stalemate, Mourinho decided to publicly slam a unnamed player for having a bad attitude and revealed that the player will be sold in the January transfer window.
"I'm sorry, because the team's effort was betrayed by the attitude of an unprofessional player," the 59-year-old said, per ESPN.
"I feel betrayed by one of my players. He betrayed everyone else. Who is it? I won't say. In January he will have to find another team."
"The mistake is part of the game.
"The unprofessional and incorrect attitude with the teammates displeases me. I already said it [the name] in the changing room, and I don't do that often.
"After matches, I don't speak often with the team. I had 16 players on the pitch, I liked the attitude of fifteen. I didn't like one and I said so."

Karsdorp's agent Johan Henkes has now demanded an explanation from the manager regarding his betrayal comments.
"We are surprised at Mourinho's statements, which point to Rick, without Mourinho or AS Roma mentioning Rick's name," the football representative told Dutch public broadcaster NOS, per ESPN.
"We want an explanation from the club about the trainer's words and how he did it.
"That's not how you treat a player who has been playing for AS Roma for five years."
