Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata picked up what appeared to be a hamstring injury in Saturday’s Premier League match against Manchester City.

The only goal of the game came in the 67th minute, when former Chelsea outcast De Bruyne unleashed a thunderbolt which cruised past Thibaut Courtois sublimely.
De Bruyne was sold to German club Wolfsburg by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho in January 2014 when he was Chelsea manager.
And goal-scorer De Bruyne, who produced a man-of-the-match display as well as scoring a stunning second-half victor, said he and his team-mates were determined to maintain that winning habit.
England striker Kane continued his astonishing run by following up a Champions League hat-trick in midweek with two more goals as Spurs went 3-0 up by halftime at promoted Huddersfield.
“It’s not easy to find that with this kind of talent”.
“Because it stopped before becoming a serious injury”. We needed to come out on top and there’ s a massive togetherness in the team. “They are aggressive, they win duels, they are so quick in the counter-attack”.
He spent the previous two seasons at Gladbach and face City four times in the Champions League during his time in Germany, though the visitors will be without star man Sergio Aguero on this occasion after he was involved in a vehicle crash.
However, even though last season’s champions looked second best Antonio Conte felt he could only be proud of his players becaue they put everything into the game. Guardiola, against Chelsea, showed how he can stifle one of the best teams in Europe that only this week defeated Atletico Madrid comfortable. “This is football. We have to accept the result, above all because today we know that we gave everything”. Sergio as well, but hopefully he’ll be back soon.
“But for sure we are talking about a top player”.
“We want to become a big club, I’ve been at two fantastic clubs in my life, you have to overcome this situation”.
