Alvaro Morata admits Juventus are missing Andrea Pirlo and Fernando Llorente.

Pirlo left in the summer for New York City FC, while Llorente joined Sevilla.

“It's a more complicated season with Juventus, especially because of injuries and because I'm not playing in my ideal role," Morata told El Larguero.

“The team is missing Pirlo and Llorente – Fernando more from the personal level, without him last year I wouldn't have done so well.

“I sent him my compliments for his goal against Real Madrid, I was happy for him but less so for Real.

“Pirlo is one of those players who guarantees you 10 or 15 points more a season from dead-ball situations."
