The 25-year-old missed five months of last season with thigh and calf injuries, and has been out for two months of the current campaign after suffering hamstring and head injuries.

Asked whether Mount is injury prone, Amorim added: “That is not my department.

“What I can do is help Mase to teach him to play our game while he is recovering, to give him that time to think about different things.

“The worst part is that we don’t have time to train as you should do while recovering with a lot of injuries. We are always travelling, we don’t train enough with the team together. It makes it hard to recover for the games.

“We try to manage it with rotation. With Mason Mount, we are going to help him and it is really hard for him to be out so long. He is trying really hard. If they try hard, we will help them to the end.”
