The Portuguese tactician was able to introduce a number of players to his side in the recent window, including former Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Renato Sanches.
The 26-year-old has endured a torrid time with injuries since bursting on the scene in Portugal years ago, after he missed 19 matches in the 2022/23 campaign in France across all competitions.
His woes have continued following his move to Rome, with the midfielder forced to be taken off after just 27 minutes in Roma's win in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.
"They (Renato Sanches and Houssem Aouar) have to play, they need rhythm and intensity,' Mourinho said on the situation," Mourinho said about the ex-Lille player, according to the Daily Mail.
"That's what Renato is, he's always at risk, it's difficult to understand: Bayern didn't understand him, PSG didn't understand him and we have difficulties.
"He played 45 minutes on Sunday, then had three days of rest and left after 27 minutes,' the Portuguese coach added.
"He is always in doubt, it is difficult to understand why he is always injured. Aouar played the necessary time to regain the rhythm of the game."
