AC Milan have confirmed that striker Alvaro Morata has suffered a muscular injury, ruling him out of the upcoming Serie A clash against Inter Milan.

The Injury

The Spanish striker was forced off the pitch during the 1-1 draw against Bologna, and initial reports suggested that he had suffered a muscular strain in his right thigh.

Now, the Rossoneri have confirmed the diagnosis, stating that Morata has suffered a ‘grade two’ muscle strain in his right thigh.

Recovery Time

Grade two muscle strains typically require a recovery period of around two to three weeks, meaning Morata will miss the upcoming Derby della Madonnina against Inter Milan.

However, the striker could return in time for the Champions League clash against Liverpool on December 7th.

Impact on Milan

Morata’s absence will be a significant blow for Milan, who are currently second in the Serie A table and looking to close the gap on leaders Napoli.

The striker has been in impressive form this season, scoring six goals in 11 appearances for the Rossoneri.
