Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata: I'm not yet fully fit

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata says he's yet to reach full fitness.

Morata, ahead of their Champions League clash with Roma, hasn't scored for a month.

He said, "Honestly, now I'm 100 per cent fit. Probably in the last few games, I've not been in the best physical form, but now I'm better. It's hard.

"It's a little injury, but I stopped for 20 days when finally I had the good condition. I need to come back to full fitness, that's all."

Morata added: "Against Roma I've never scored before. We'll try to do that tomorrow. I didn't play many games against them... five? But, completely, perhaps one or two. But tomorrow I'll try to score."
