Houssem Aouar continues to impress despite Roma’s poor start to the new season.

The Algerian midfielder – who signed with the capital club as a free agent in June – was recently the author of Roma’s only goal at the Stadio Bentegodi in Verona.

His effort was not enough to help Roma complete the comeback against Hellas Verona.

However, Aouar showed lots of quality in his appearance off the bench.

In fact, Corriere dello Sport reports that Mourinho was highly impressed by Aouar’s attitude despite not featuring from the start.

As a result, Aouar is now favored to return to Roma’s starting line-up in the upcoming showdown with Milan.
