Italian defender Matteo Darmian has not been first choice under the Portuguese, and the right-back insists that although he does not understand why he has been occupying the bench, he is still working hard in training.
"I don't know why (I'm not playing), that's a difficult question to answer," he told Rai Sport.
"The coach has to make his decisions and we players have to accept them.
"I always worked hard and gave my best when called upon and I'll continue to do that.
"I certainly don't lack determination and that is fundamental, especially during a period where you don't play as much.
"From the first day I have put myself at the disposal of the team and tried to prove myself to the coach."
