After the game, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said he does not expect Morata to be out long term, saying it was a 'muscular problem'.
He said: 'I don't think it's a serious problem because he stopped before it will become a serious injury.
'He said to me, "I prefer to stop myself otherwise I risk a bad injury". The doctor now in the next days has to check the situation, but I don't think he's available for the national team.'
