Atletico Madrid striker Morata avoids serious knee injury

Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has avoided serious injury.

Morata broke down and was visibly emotional when forced off in defeat to Sevilla on Sunday. There were concerns he'd suffered a serious knee injury.

Atletico have since announced Morata suffered a strain and no ligament damage.

The setback will keep Morata sidelined for a fortnight.

As such, Morata could be back for the return leg of Atletico's Champions League quarterfinal against Inter Milan.
