The recent draw against Torino has left lingering effects not only due to the disappointing performance by AC Milan but also on the injury front. The club’s most significant signing this season, Álvaro Morata, is dealing with a muscle injury that will keep him out of the upcoming trip to Parma and is likely to miss the following match against Lazio in Rome as well.
Reports suggest that the Spanish forward was not fully fit when he took the field against Torino. His debut under coach Paulo Fonseca came in the last half hour of that game, during which Morata managed to score his first goal for the Rossoneri. However, this brief appearance has come at a high cost. Initial assessments indicate he could be sidelined for a couple of weeks, with more detailed evaluations expected after further medical tests.
In Morata’s absence, Luka Jovic is set to lead the attack at the Tardini Stadium against Parma. The injury to Morata will undoubtedly put additional pressure on the Milan squad, who are searching for a way to get back to winning ways after a lacklustre display against Torino.
