Alvaro Morata will miss a significant period of the season after suffering a serious hip injury during Como's match against Inter, which ended in a heavy 0:4 defeat.
The Spaniard left the field in the 32nd minute due to damage to the long adductor muscle of his left thigh.
Como announced that the striker has already started physiotherapy, and his recovery will be monitored week by week. No time frame has been given for his return, with the club stating that it will depend solely on his progress in rehabilitation.
Morata joined the team in August and has played in 13 of the 14 Serie A matches this season, although without scoring a goal. Como are sixth in the standings, and the absence of the experienced striker will certainly complicate the team's tasks in the upcoming rounds.
