Likely to miss friendly Morata (hip) is expected to miss Wednesday's friendly against Jordan, according to MARCA.

Impact Morata picked up a hip issue just after the final league match Nov. 9 against Mallorca and it will keep him out of the only friendly in preparation for the World Cup. If fully fit, Morata figures to be the first-choice at striker in the Nov. 23 opener against Costa Rica. If Morata isn't able to play, Ferran Torres is another option for manager Luis Enrique.

Dealing with hip injury Morata did not train with Atletico on Friday due to a muscle injury in his hip.

Impact Morata will be questionable for Saturday's Copa del Rey fixture against Almazan due to this knock, and he is unlikely to feature in the relatively meaningless game with the World Cup just around the corner.

Takes four shots against Mallorca Morata took four shots (three on target) and created a chance in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Mallorca. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Morata was Atletico's most dangerous player on Wednesday but he just couldn't find a way past goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic and into the net for a would-be equalizer. He has taken seven shots (four on target) across his last two games heading into the World Cup.

Attempts three shots Morata logged three shots (one on goal) across 73 minutes during a 1-1 draw against Espanyol on Sunday.

Impact Morata had an ankle injury preventing him from playing more than 10 minutes Oct. 29 at Cadiz. But now that he is healthy, fantasy managers should expect the Spaniard and Antoine Griezmann to continue being Atletico Madrid's preferred duo of strikers.

Trains Friday Morata participated in Friday's training session ahead of Sunday's match against Espanyol, according to Javi Gomez of Cope.

Impact Morata was left on the bench in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Porto as he wasn't fully fit but now he figures to be ready to play. With five straight starts before missing out in that game, Morata will hope to make a quick return to the lineup over Angel Correa or Joao Felix.

Called up for Tuesday's match Morata (ankle) was called up by Atletico for Tuesday's Champions League clash against FC Porto.

Impact Morata suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's defeat against Cadiz in La Liga, but he is fit enough to at least make the squad against Porto. Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa, Joao Felix and Matheus Cunha are the other options to line up in the front-two if Morata isn't quite able to start.

Suffers ankle injury Morata has picked up a left ankle injury in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Cadiz, his club announced Sunday.

Impact Morata is now far less likely to feature in Tuesday's trip to Porto but otherwise isn't expected to be out for long. Antoine Griezmann should soon return to the lineup during Morata's absence. Since Morata has scored just onces in his last eight appearances, his form wasn't ideal before the injury.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with injury Morata was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match with Cadiz due to a foot injury.

Impact Morata was subbed off after just ten minutes, sustaining an injury during a duel with Mamadou Mbaye. More information about the extent of injury should be available following the conclusion of the match.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes one shot in win Morata put one shot off target in 59 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 win over Real Betis.

Impact Morata didn't have much to do with Antoine Griezmann scoring both goals. He's still scored once and logged one assist over his last three starts, giving Morata decent form over a favorable schedule ahead of the World Cup.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nets in goal Morata scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 1-1 tie against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Morata got his second straight start and again continues to prove why he should be a consistent starter with another goal. He has started in 11 matches and has scored in five of them. The 29-year-old is sharing playing time with Matheus Cunha, but none the less has totaled a goal and an assist with seven shots (three on target) in the last five matches.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist in win Morata logged one assist from one chance created in 69 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Morata set up Antoine Griezmann's winning goal to secure a solid road result. Though he's started just three times in the last five games, Morata has scored once and now assisted once when playing from kickoff in that time. Though there's still further improvement to make, Morata is definitely one to watch as his partnership with Griezmann develops and with Joao Felix out of favor with the manager.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Finds net in win Morata scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) and created one chance in 61 minutes during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla.

Impact Morata got back on the scoresheet for the first time in five league and UCL matches just before his replacement in the second half. With four league goals in seven appearances (six starts), Morata figures to remain the starting striker and there won't always be room for Joao Felix in the formation. If the defense can stay fit with Stefan Savic and Jose Maria Gimenez as anchors, Morata could continue to flourish in more consistent ways.
