Álvaro Morata was attacked by a rare virus that affects his health

Álvaro Morata is going through an average season with Juventus, since he arrived at the 'Bianconero' team, the forward got on very well with Cristiano Ronaldo, but the strange virus that attacked him and caused a decompensation after the Champions League match could generate various problems in his sporting future.

The name of the strange virus is ‘Cytomegalovirus’, that causes tiredness, dizziness and pain, in addition to a drop in immune defenses. With all the discomfort suffered by the Spanish striker, it was still part of the team on the match against Porto for the second round of the Champions League. 

This disease can be transmitted by bodily fluids, but it is still unknown how Álvaro Morata was infected. At Juventus they will wait for the Peruvian to recover 100% to take it into the lead team again, so they won’t risk his health or his performance.

It is difficult to know what must happen so that the footballer can fully recover, for now the doctors are doing several studies so that Morata recovers as soon as possible and can return to the fields better than ever.

So far this season, Álvaro has played a total of 18 games, scored 4 goals and has 8 assists. Injuries and the present virus do not allow him to reach the best numbers he had with "Vecchia Signora" but his coach Andrea Pirlo hopes that he can recover so that he can emerge in the final stretch of the season.
