Chelsea fear Alvaro Morata hamstring injury could see star striker miss over a month and more than SIX matches

Chelsea fear star striker Alvaro Morata could miss over month with a hamstring strain.

The Spain forward limped off during the Blues’ loss to Manchester City on Saturday, but Antonio Conte said after the game that the decision to take him off was precautionary.

But according to the Spanish Football Association, the former Real Madrid star has suffered a grade two hamstring tear causing him to pull out of the latest international squad.

The news leaves Morata facing over four weeks on the sidelines, striking a huge blow to Chelsea manager Conte.
