Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is related to the herpes virus that causes chickenpox and is a very common virus that is usually harmless.

There can be flu-like symptoms when it is first contracted, but the immune system tends to get it under control within three weeks.

The symptoms can include aching muscles, fatigue and a sore throat.

It generally only causes real problems for babies or people who have a weakened immune system.

Morata would ideally be allowed to rest and recuperate, but with Paulo Dybala out thanks to a knee injury, he hasn’t many options.
