Fonseca confirmed. Morata will miss at least one more match due to new injury
AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca provided details regarding forward Álvaro Morata's injury ahead of the team's Serie A clash with Lecce.
Details: Spain and Milan forward Morata has raised new concerns about his injury and is expected to miss the visit to Lecce in Serie A on Friday evening, as confirmed by coach Paulo Fonseca during his Thursday afternoon press conference.
Morata suffered several minor bruises during training, which led to a case of bursitis — an inflammation of fluid-filled sacs that cushion bones and muscles around joints.
Italian media also speculate that Morata's participation in the Champions League match against Bayer on Tuesday could also be in doubt.
Reminder: This is Morata’s second injury this season, having already missed two of the first three games due to a muscular issue.
By the way, one of Milan's management advisers, Zlatan Ibrahimović, spoke to the players about the importance of the game against Lecce the day before.
