Some rather worrying news arrived late last night regarding Alvaro Morata, who is set to miss at least three weeks due to a muscle problem.
According to the latest from MilanNews, Morata will miss the next two league games against Parma and Lazio and will not be available for Spain, who play Serbia and Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League during the next break.
As a reminder, Morata has a one-game ban to serve for his national team which will come into effect from the next game that he is eligible to play after a controversial chant about Gibraltar following the European Championship win.
The report adds that Morata did not initially get injured during Milan-Torino on Saturday, but the day before in training at Milanello. However, the Spaniard deemed it to be a minor muscle problem, so he gritted his teeth and made himself available to Paulo Fonseca for the match against the Granata.
He came on in the second half of that game and scored a goal on his competitive debut, yet the injury worsened and so he will be forced to stay out for at least three weeks. The goal is to get him back for Milan-Venezia, the first match after the break, but he will not be rushed.
