Who could Chelsea play up front instead of Alvaro Morata?

Morata is due to have medical tests in Madrid today to evaluate the extent of his injury sustained during Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.

The Spaniard hobbled off after just half an hour at Stamford Bridge, although Spanish publication Marca suggest he could be fit again in time for the international fixtures against Albania and Israel.

manager Antonio Conte believes Morata is unlikely to make the Spain matches, but hopes he will be back for the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on October 14.

If Morata doesn’t return against the Eagles, Conte has limited options on offer to fill in for the 24-year-old.
