Chelsea striker Morata: Conte's sessions force me to nap

Alvaro Morata says the intensity of Antonio Conte's training sessions make it a necessity to nap after returning home from Cobham.

The Italian has gained a reputation for being a hard-nosed manager who asks much of his players in terms of hard work and fitness.

Morata explained: "You arrive home [after training] and a nap is necessary.

"The problem is that you take a nap and you've lost your day.

"You wake up and it seems that you've already lost the day because it's already night."
