Scores opener, leaves injured Morata scored one goal on three shots before leaving the field in the 68th minute due to an apparent injury against Croatia on Saturday.

Impact Morata had a great opening match of Spain's Euro 2024 campaign, as he would go on to score the opening goal in the 29th minute. However, his day did take a turn for the worse, as he had to be taken off the field due to injury, appearing to be dealing with discomfort in the knee region. Not much more is known at this time, but his team will hope it is only a minor knock, as he is expected to be their starting forward throughout the tournament. He was replaced by Mikel Oyarzabal.

Left on bench Morata (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Atheltic.

Impact Morata is returning to the team sheet after missing the club's last contest due to an illness, as he lines up on the bench Saturday. He will now look to get back in the starting XI in the club's next contest, as he will most likely split time with Angel Correa for the rest of the season.

Impact Morata missed Atletico's 2-0 loss at Alaves the past weekend due to illness. Still, he's participated in full training for three straight days, so he's certainly trending in the right direction toward being available. It's unclear whether he'll move into the starting lineup right away, but in a worst-case scenario, he should be an option off the bench, with Angel Correa potentially keeping his place in the starting XI.

Out Sunday due to illness Morata will not be an option for Sunday's match against Alaves due to an illness, per Football Espana.

Impact Morata will not be available over the weekend, as he has picked up an illness since Tuesday's UCL loss, forcing him to bow out for Sunday's contest. This will most likely leave Angel Correa getting the start at forward. Morata will probably only miss one game, hopefully being an option for their next match against Athletic on April 27.

Finds bench Wednesday Morata (knee) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Inter Milan.

Impact Morata looks to have put his injury concerns behind him, getting on the team sheet for Wednesday's contest after missing the club's last match due to knee issues. The forward should be expected to return to a starting role in the club's next game, as he has only missed the start five times when an option, while also earning some time on the pitch against Inter to test his legs after the injury.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Called up against Inter Morata (knee) was called up for Tuesday's trip to Inter Milan.

Impact Morata suffered a sprained knee and was originally expected to spend a decent period on the sideline. It seems the injury wasn't as bad as originally feared as he was called up straight away for the Tuesday clash. Memphis Depay will likely get the start with Morata less than fully fit.

FEBRUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with knee sprain Morata suffered a bone contusion and a sprain of the internal lateral ligament of his right knee, the club announced Monday.

Impact Morata should be expected to miss a minimum of three weeks depending on the severity of the sprain, though the team didn't offer any specific recovery timeline. It's a tough blow for the forward, as it will keep him out for at least the first leg of the Champions League knockout round against Inter Milan on Feb. 20, in addition to 2-3 La Liga clashes as well. Memphis Depay figures to step into the starting XI with Morata unavailable, though Angel Correa could also be in contention.

Picks up knee injury Morata was taken off at halftime during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Sevilla due to an apparent knee injury, according to the club.

Impact Morata looks to possibly be heading for the sidelines for a couple of matches, having been forced off early in the club's most recent contest after twisting his knee. It appears the injury concern around their player may be somewhat serious, as he was viewed leaving the stadium on crutches. However, the club will hope for only a minor issue, with the forward being one of their main starters, appearing in 22 games this season while notching 13 goals. If he does miss any time, expect Memphis Depay and Angel Correa to see more minutes in his role, taking over the spot at starting striker until Morata heals from his latest injury.

Impact Morata got back in training ahead of Sunday's Madrid derby, though there's no guarantee he is even called up. Morata would be the top choice in theory, but with Memphis Depay in good goalscoring form and Morata carrying the knock he'd likely only be a bench option even if called up.

FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Morata's absence has yet to come with an explanation from the team but marks a significant blow to the club's attacking options.

Memphis Depay figures to get the start with Morata unavailable.

Impact Morata has hit his stride once again this season, netting six goals in his last seven outings following a run of four matches without finding the net. He will look to keep it rolling against a Valencia side that kept him quiet in the reverse fixture earlier this season, only mustering two shots in a 3-0 loss.

Notches hat-trick in loss Morata scored three goals to go with six shots (four on goal) in Wednesday's 4-3 loss versus Girona.

Impact Morata had one of his worst performance of the season so far, attempting just one finish and breaking a sequence of seven straight matches in all competitions taking at least three shots. That led the striker to be subbed off halfway through the final frame so he'll now try to bounce back during next Sunday's clash against Almeria.
