Alvaro Morata has made a full recovery and is back in action, dispelling concerns about his recent head injury. The Milan striker, who suffered a severe concussion after a collision with Pavlovic during a training session, has not only returned to the pitch but also started for Spain in their Nations League match against Switzerland.
Despite tensions between the Spanish national team staff and Milan’s coach Paulo Fonseca, Spain’s manager De La Fuente insisted on including his captain for the crucial Nations League fixtures. Morata’s presence in the squad underscores his importance to both club and country.
At the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium in Tenerife, Morata started the match and played the entire first half before being substituted at halftime for Samu Omorodion. This appearance marked his first competitive action since the incident in training and his last match against Real Madrid.
During his 45-minute stint, Morata made a significant impact by skillfully earning a penalty for Spain. Although Pedri failed to convert from the spot, Pino capitalized on the rebound to give Spain the lead. This performance bodes well for Morata’s form heading into Milan’s upcoming fixtures.
The Spanish forward’s return to fitness comes at a crucial time for Milan, as they prepare to face Juventus in a high-stakes Serie A clash on Saturday at San Siro. Morata is expected to lead the line for Milan in this important match against his former club.
With Morata seemingly back to full fitness and already making an impact on the international stage, Milan fans can be optimistic about their team’s prospects in the upcoming encounter with the Bianconeri.
