Alvaro Morata is glad former Juventus teammate Giorgio Chiellini is suspended for Italy-Spain – “my ankles are grateful…”
The Bianconeri centre-back was sent off in Monday’s win over Israel, meaning he won’t be available for the match against Spain on October 6.
“I’ll be honest, I had a moment of great happiness when I got back to the dressing room and saw Chiellini had been sent off,” Morata joked in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
