Milan and Juventus will have to cope with major absences in the next two Serie A matches. Alvaro Morata, Khephren Thuram, and Timothy Weah all went down with thigh strains in the opener.
According to Sky, the Spaniard already felt something in the lead-up to the game. That’s part of the reason why he didn’t start. He aggravated the injury during his cameo, where he scored, suffering a lesion. He’ll be sidelined for three to four weeks.
Morata, Thuram, and Weah have similar timetables and will be close calls for the first game after the September break. The UMSNT staple got hurt right before hitting the net and bowed out at the interval against Como. Juventus disclosed that he and the midfielder picked up low-grade biceps femoris issues.
The Rossoneri will face Parma and Lazio next, while the Old Lady will tangle with Hellas Verona and Roma in the next two rounds.
Milan elected not to sign a new center-forward besides the former Atletico Madrid star. Therefore, they’ll have to make do with Luka Jovic and Noah Okafor, who rescued them late versus Torino. Instead, Juventus will have to rely on their other midfielders. Douglas Luiz didn’t start in the first match. They’ll need to recalibrate their formation since they are very thin on the flanks, although Nico Gonzalez seems fairly close to joining.
Our Take on Morata, Thuram, and Weah
The tongue ever turns to the aching tooth, as replacing them will be a problem, especially with not-so-easy fixtures on deck. Things would look much better with Niklas Fullkrug, Teun Koopmeiners, and the Fiorentina man, or another winger, in the squad. It wouldn’t be too stunning if one of the two teams changed their plans or got a move on.
