Chelsea ace Morata spotted limping ahead of Man City clash

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has been spotted limping after last night's Champions League win at Atletico Madrid.

The London Evening Standard says Morata – who opened the scoring for Conte's side after an Antoine Griezmann penalty had put the Spaniards ahead – was seen to be limping through the mixed zone post match.

While it will be a worry for Chelsea fans, the striker, who has seven goals in his first eight games for the club in all competitions, did stop to speak to members of the media in the mixed zone and there was no mention of a problem.

The fact no issue was raised could well mean it is simply down to some stiffness after a hard fought mid-week clash away from home.
