Alvaro Morata will have a scan on a calf injury today, and is a doubt for Juventus’ Supercoppa clash with Lazio.
The Spanish striker pulled up during yesterday’s training session in Shanghai with discomfort in his calf, and will not train with his teammates today.
The former Real Madrid man will instead undergo medical tests to reveal the extent of the injury, and Calciomercato reports there is a danger of him missing the showpiece fixture.
Alvaro Morata will have a scan on a calf injury today, and is a doubt for Juventus’ Supercoppa clash with Lazio.
The Spanish striker pulled up during yesterday’s training session in Shanghai with discomfort in his calf, and will not train with his teammates today.
The former Real Madrid man will instead undergo medical tests to reveal the extent of the injury, and Calciomercato reports there is a danger of him missing the showpiece fixture.
Morata would likely be replaced in the starting line-up by new signing Paulo Dybala, who is set to partner fellow new arrival Mario Mandzukic in attack.
The Bianconeri have been the victim of a series of injury setbacks this pre-season, with Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini and Sami Khedira also sidelined.
The former is on the recovery path, and is with his teammates in China, but will not be risked against Lazio if not fully fit.
