Antonio Conte gives fittness update on Alvaro Morata

Antonio Conte confirms Alvaro Morata is back in contention for Chelsea game against Southampton

The Spain international missed the midweek win over Huddersfield with his manager who opting to pick a front three of Pedro, Willian and Eden Hazard. 

After making a blistering start to his Chelsea career, Morata has scored only once in his last five matches but his return will represent a boost for Conte who revealed it was a back injury that kept him out Tuesday’s victory. ‘Morata is better and he trained with us two days ago and also today,’ he said.
