Roger Ibañez is yet to be cleared for a spot in the starting eleven later this afternoon vs Atalanta.
According to Il Tempo, the Brazilian centre-back will undergo a brief individual training this morning and his condition will be assessed by the club’s medical staff.
In case Ibañez would be deemed not ready to start, Mourinho is expected to give Kumbulla a chance to feature from the first minute.
In the meantime, Chris Smalling has made full recovery and will start in today’s crucial showdown against Atalanta.
