The health status of Alvaro Morata, who was injured in Galatasaray's match against AZ Alkmaar, has been clarified. As a result of the examinations, a strain, hemorrhage, and partial tear were detected in the star footballer's left upper posterior muscle.

In the statement made by the Yellow-Red club, it was stated: "Following the MRI scan of Alvaro Morata, who was injured in the UEFA Europa League Play-Off Round match against AZ Alkmaar, at our sponsor hospital Medicana, a 2nd-degree strain (strain, hemorrhage, and partial tear) was detected in the left upper posterior muscle group, and the player's treatment has begun. No specific timeline has been provided by our club or medical team regarding our player's return to the pitch; we will proceed according to his clinical progress within the busy match schedule."

According to the report on NTV Spor, the medical team will closely monitor the player's recovery process. However, the Spanish striker is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks. In this case, the probability of Morata playing in the Fenerbahçe derby to be held on Monday, February 24, appears low.
