Morata aiming to return to face Inter

Despite reports suggesting he could face over a month
out, Alvaro Morata says he will be fit to face Inter this
Sunday.

Juventus striker Alvaro Morata has set his sights on being fully
fit to face Inter in Serie A next Sunday.

The Spain international was stretchered off in the first half of the
European champions' 4-0 win over Luxembourg on Friday with
an injury to his lower leg.

Some initial reports in Spain claimed Morata could face between
one and four months out of action, despite having avoided a
fracture to his leg, but the 22-year-old has moved to dispel
those concerns.

Morata posted on his official Twitter account: "Neither one
month nor four... I'm working hard to be ready for Sunday!"

Morata had further tests on the problem late on Friday and
Juventus later stated his progress will be monitored over the
coming days.

"Alvaro Morata has today returned from international duty and
the Juventus medical staff has confirmed the diagnosis of their
Spanish counterparts: a bruised right leg with no evidence of
fractures.

"The striker's condition will continue to be monitored over the
coming days in order to assess the best course of action for his
return to training."

Morata has scored three times so far for Juve this season in
what has proved an inconsistent campaign to date for the Serie
A champions.

They head into the clash with Inter a full 10 points adrift of
current league leaders Fiorentina, and eight behind Roberto
Mancini's men.
