Stefano Pioli: 'Ravel Morrison struggling at Lazio'

Stefano Pioli concedes that Ravel Morrison is finding it hard to adapt to the demands of playing for Lazio.

Ravel Morrison "has struggled" to adapt to life at Lazio, according to head coach Stefano Pioli.

The former England Under-21 international joined the Serie A outfit earlier this year following his release by West Ham United.

However, despite being praised for his performances in pre-season, the 22-year-old has been limited to just two senior appearances for Le Aquile.

Asked why that is the case by reporters, Pioli replied: "He has struggled. He has to work harder for the team. He's had a niggling injury and he still doesn't speak a word of Italian. This has slowed his development and his integration in the squad."

Morrison has recently been linked with a return to Queens Park Rangers, whom he spent time on loan with in 2014.
