Giroud & Morata will be rotated all season confirms Chelsea boss Sarri

Maurizio Sarri has revealed he will continue to rotate Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata throughout the season.

Giroud replaced Morata in the starting line-up for Saturday's 4-1 win over Cardiff City. The Frenchman grabbed two assists in the rout.

"In the last two weeks I have seen four matches of Cardiff and four matches of PAOK Salonika and for me, yesterday I thought Giroud was more suitable for this match and Morata more suitable for the other," Sarri said. "I don't know now who will be the striker of the future.

"I think both, because we have to play 60 matches. For characteristics they are different, it depends on the kind of match. Today [Giroud] played very well without scoring, but very useful for his team-mates I think."
