While Sanches was on the pitch, Bologna made it 2-0 through a Rasmus Kristensen own goal, with Nikola Moro having earlier opened the scoring.
Roma were unable to get back into the game and are down in seventh place in Serie A following their fifth defeat of an inconsistent season.
Mourinho remains under pressure following some mixed results this term and on this evidence, Sanches seems unlikely to have much of a future at the Stadio Olimpico, either.
The midfielder, now 26 years old, has already represented six different clubs in five countries in a chaotic career and has not reached 100 appearances for any of those teams.
