​Chelsea manager Conte: Too early to judge Morata after Bayern loss

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has is not judging Alvaro Morata after his debut against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The Spain international played 27 minutes for his new club, with the Blues eventually losing the match 3-2.

Despite his limited playing time, Conte was, however, impressed with Morata's endeavour once he entered the game.

"It's too early to speak about the impact of Morata," Conte said.

"He has only been with us for two days and he needs time to work and find his feet and to understand our way of playing.

"But he showed a will to win, to fight and adapt to our style of play.

"For us, he's a good buy. We need to give him time to adapt, but we must be pleased with his performance today."
