Injury setbacks are tough, but Morata will bounce back.
Morata's resilience is admirable.
Looking forward to seeing Morata back in action soon! 🙌
The Atletico Madrid star picked up a knee injury and left the pitch in tears, clearly fearing a long spell on the sidelines as his club went down 1-0 against Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday. A day later, Atletico released a statement confirming the extent of the problem as they revealed that he had suffered bone bruising and a ligament sprain in his right knee. As per The Athletic, the Spain international is expected to remain out of action for just two weeks.
After learning about his recovery timeframe, Morata released a statement where he took a dig at those who had sent hateful messages after he picked up the knock.
Morate wrote: "Thanks God, my knee injury is not serious. Thanks a lot for the nice messages. I also hope that people who send so many hate messages can have just as much desire to be happy and work hard. I’ll be at my best again soon."
The 31-year-old attacker's injury comes as a blow for Los Colchoneros as he has been in fine form this season. He has scored 19 goals across all competitions in 33 games, as well as providing three assists.
