Chelsea boss Antonio Conte confirms that Alvaro Morata is in contention for the side's Champions League game with Roma on Wednesday night.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has confirmed that striker Alvaro Morata is back in contention and could feature in the Blues' Champions League game with Roma tomorrow night.

After a strong start to his time in England with seven goals in eight games, the Spaniard suffered a setback at the end of last month as he picked up a hamstring injury during the game with Manchester City.

Morata's side went on to lose the contest 1-0 and then suffered a shock defeat to Crystal Palace in their first full game without him at the weekend.

Speaking to reporters today, Conte confirmed: "Alvaro is in contention for tomorrow's game. He has been training with us and in contention.

"I could have risked him on Saturday, but I am not so stupid. The situation is very difficult. You have to make the best decision. Tomorrow I am not taking a risk if I ask Morata to play."

Chelsea go into the game top of Group C, having won both of their matches to date.
