Alvaro Morata ruled out of Huddersfield game

Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata has been ruled of the Blues’ game against Huddersfield tomorrow night.

The Spaniard was ruled out by Antonio Conte, who said:

Morata is out, because he’s a bit tired and there is a problem in his back. He is out.

The problem comes after a busy run of games for the summer signing from Real Madrid.

Morata could return for the visit of Southampton this weekend as he continues to be assessed ahead of a busy schedule.

Elsewhere, Danny Drinkwater has returned to full fitness and is in line to come back into the side after struggling with a fever which kept him out of the weekend’s trip to face West Ham.

David Luiz remains out as he struggles with a knee problem which has seen him sidelined for the past couple of weeks.

With the games coming thick and fast, you can expect Conte to rotate a number of his players for the game and that will start with Morata.
