Italian football giants Juventus' striker Alvaro Morata will be sidelined for up to one month due to a tear in the soleus muscle in his left calf.
The Spaniard suffered the injury during the team's training session on Tuesday, according to the medical staff of the 'Bianconeri', after they examined the player, reports Efe.
Morata will thus be left out of the Italian Super Cup clash against Lazio on Saturday in China.
The Spanish striker is also expected to miss the first two Serie A games, against Udinese on August 23 and against Roma on August 30.
