Alvaro Morata limped off during Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Man City on Saturday and hasn’t been seen since.
Just kidding, about the “hasn’t been seen since”part, the injury part is true.
Morata has since been withdrawn from the Spain International squad due to the hamstring tear, now Chelsea fear that the problem could keep their star striker out for over a month
and he could miss more than six games, including the double-header against Roma.
The Spain forward limped off during the Blues’ loss to Manchester City on Saturday, but Antonio Conte said after the game that the decision to take him off was precautionary.
But according to the Spanish Football Association, the former Real Madrid star has suffered a grade two hamstring tear causing him to pull out of the latest international squad.
The news leaves Morata facing over four weeks on the sidelines, striking a huge blow to Chelsea manager Conte.
With games two Champions League games against Roma, as well as Premier League clashes against Crystal Palace, Watford, Everton and Bournemouth all taking place this month, Morata could miss a vital chunk of Chelsea’s season.
Morata will be sorely missed by the Blues, having made a fine start to life at Stamford Bridge.
