Morata injury blow for Milan as Fonseca makes Camarda admission | OneFootball

Milan coach Paulo Fonseca says Alvaro Morata won’t be available against Hellas Verona due to tonsillitis, so Tammy Abraham or Francesco Camarda will start on Friday.

Spanish striker Morata will miss Milan’s Serie A match against Verona tomorrow due to illness.

“We are struggling with players now. Pulisic returned from international duty with a problem. Now Musah, Okafor and Loftus [are injured]. Morata has tonsillitis,” Fonseca said at a press conference on Thursday.

“Torriani, Bartesaghi, Jimenez, Liberali, Zeroli and Camarda have already played [with the first team],” continued the Portuguese.

“Camarda could play, and other players could play. Some young players will be with us, and some will play.”

Luka Jovic is also out of action, which means Camarda and Abraham are the only centre forwards available for the Rossoneri.

Fonseca revealed that only one will start at the Bentegodi tomorrow.

“At the start of the week, I thought about starting two strikers, but with the Morata situation, I don’t think we can start with two strikers.”
