In AC Milan's training session on Thursday, Alvaro Morata experienced a frightening incident when he clashed heads with centre-back Strahinja Pavlovic. The former Chelsea striker was immediately rushed to the hospital in Legnano for treatment. After undergoing an MRI scan, Morata was thankfully given the all-clear, but was kept in the hospital for observation.
As a result of the collision, Morata will unfortunately have to sit out of AC Milan's upcoming Serie A match against Cagliari on Saturday. It is expected that former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham will step in as his replacement.
Despite the injury, Morata had a successful week on the field. In the Champions League match against his former club Real Madrid on Tuesday, he scored a goal to help lead AC Milan to a 3-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu. After the match, Morata expressed his excitement about the win, stating, "I told the guys beforehand that it's an important match, especially for us, but also for the fans and the club. We had to fight like lions and we played a great game with a serious performance. We were very lucid with the ball at times and suffered together in other moments, as we had to do."
Since joining AC Milan from Atletico Madrid in the summer for €13 million, the 32-year-old has scored three goals in 12 appearances. His contributions have been valuable for the team and have helped them achieve success on the field.
Despite the injury scare, Morata's focus is now on recovering and getting back to playing for his team.
