Juventus striker Alvaro Morata is said to be optimistic over his injury just hours after fears he’d fractured his fibula.
He was stretchered off during Spain’s 4-0 win over Luxembourg on Friday and seemed to be in agony, fuelling rumours he had fractured his fibula, which would’ve kept him out for four to five months.
Initial X-Rays showed no fractures or lesions, but more tests will be performed today.

Initial X-Rays showed no fractures or lesions, but more tests will be performed today.
“Alvaro Morata will not travel to Ukraine after taking a blow to his right leg,” read a statement on the Spanish Football Federation website.
“[The RFEF] has also contacted the medical services of Juventus, although the extent of his injury is pending further tests [on Saturday].”
According to Sky Sport Italia, Morata is feeling much better this morning and is optimistic over his chances of being fit to face Inter next weekend.
It’s believed to be just a heavy bruise to his right calf muscle.
