Morata has found himself out of the side at times this season, with Eden Hazard playing in a false nine position in recent weeks.
The Spanish forward, Morata, has scored five goals in 16 Premier League appearances, with nine goals in all competitions.
Chelsea are set to immediately replace Morata by signing Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain on loan.
An agreement has been reached and the forward is due to join Chelsea on a six-month deal.
