Alvaro Morata: Chelsea striker suffers grade two hamstring injury
Last updated on .From the section Football
Chelsea and Spain striker Alvaro Morata could be out for more than a month after injuring his hamstring during Saturday's defeat by Manchester City.
The 24-year-old has returned to London to begin treatment after being diagnosed for a grade two myofascial injury by Spain team doctors.
Muscle injuries of this type can take four to eight weeks to heal.
He said in an Instagram post he later deleted on Tuesday he was targeting the game with Crystal Palace on 14 October.
Morata joined Chelsea for a club record £60m last summer from Real Madrid and is their top scorer this season with seven goals.

When is Sturridge ever fully fit?
Planning to bring the whole Man Utd squad in next week. ;-)
Yeah, cos if Bolton Wanderers or Preston North End got taken over by a Arab Billionaire who would bring the best players in the world to your team, you'd be the first to complain wouldn't you??
Muppets.
PS Alan #10 - are you saying Costa didn't miss loads of games through injury? I seem to remember he had back issues a fair bit. Animal though, any team would miss his quality.
Don't know if troll or not...
But Llorente went to Tottenham.
all top 6 teams have spent over a quarter of a billion in the last five years. All are plastic in that sense.
