Barcelona-Chelsea: Conte to drop Morata to the bench
Reports in Italy this morning claim Antonio Conte is not going to include Alvaro Morata in Chelsea’s starting XI tonight.
The Spaniard had a stunning start to the season but his performances have been declining over the last few months. The former Juve star has had physical issues as well and Conte is not going to start him against the Catalans tonight.
According to Tuttosport Conte will pick up the likes of Pedro, Willian and Hazard to play up front with the Belgian ace who is expected to play as ‘false 9’.
