Mats Hummels continued his absolute nightmare start to life at Roma, giving away a penalty within minutes of his Europa League debut against Tottenham.
The defender had joined as a free agent in September and was not used by coach Ivan Juric, who insisted it was not a matter of fitness, but a technical decision based on form in training.
When the German veteran was finally given an opportunity, he scored an own goal in the 5-1 defeat to Fiorentina on October 27.

His second appearance for the club was the second 45 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Napoli.
This evening, Hummels made his first start in the Roma jersey and within three minutes had brought down Pape Sarr for a Tottenham penalty in the Europa League.
It was successfully converted by Son Heung-min following a VAR On-Field Review, putting Claudio Ranieri’s Roma at an immediate disadvantage.
