Alert Morata

Spanish striker Alvaro Morata left the field early in the match against Inter and faces the risk of being out for two months, threatening his chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

Como received bad news just before the season reached its decisive stage. Alvaro Morata, who coach Cesc Fabregas considered an important piece of the puzzle despite not scoring a goal this season, had to leave the field after just over 30 minutes against Inter due to a muscle problem. The seemingly simple situation opened up a bad prospect for both Morata personally and Como's ambitions.

The initial diagnosis showed that the 33-year-old striker had suffered an adductor injury to his left thigh, related to the tendon, a type of injury that requires a long recovery period. It is estimated that Morata will need about two months to return. Como immediately decided not to take any risks, instead letting him undergo his own treatment plan, and temporarily placing his trust in Douvikas to carry the attack.

For Morata, the injury has come at the worst possible time. Returning to the pitch at the start of 2026 would mean missing a crucial run of games to prove himself to the Spain coach. The World Cup is the ultimate goal, prompting Morata to abandon the safe options and return to Serie A, where Fabregas promises him a central role and consistent minutes.

But instead of asserting himself, Morata now faces the risk of losing his advantage in the competition for a place in the national team. Como is also put in a difficult situation when one of his most experienced players is forced to take a long-term leave.

Further tests will determine the exact extent of the injury, but the overall picture is clear: Morata and Como are both preparing for a long period without each other, and his World Cup fitness is in serious doubt.
