It seemed like a spectacular crash, but unaffected by
Morata
's health , but the Madrid forward's tears on the bench said otherwise. Heartbroken when they moved his joint.
The Atlético de Madrid doctor,
Óscar Celada,
gave him the famous box test, the one that is used to determine if there is damage to the ligaments, especially the feared cruciate one, and every movement was torture. Finally, helped by the doctor,
Morata
retired to the locker room when the referee whistled for half-time.
The clash, we said, was a divided ball in which
Soumaré
entered strong, but noble. With both feet on the ground.
Morata
, faced with the momentum of the Sevilla midfielder, jumped and did a pirouette in the air to fall badly. The forward remained on the ground hurting his left knee while the game continued.
The Madrid native was not having the best of games, with some clear missed chances and other offsides that could have been avoided. It was the least of it. Also the result, which at the time of his injury was a victory for Sevilla
by
one goal to zero.
In the absence of evidence, the Champions League for Atlético de Madrid and the Euro Cup for Spain are two tournaments on the horizon for the Madrid striker.
