Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says Alvaro Morata will be fully fit for their Champions League clash with Barcelona.

Morata will feature against FA Cup opponents Hull City tonight as he needs match fitness following his back injury.

Conte said: “Alvaro now has been training with us regularly, every day. His physical condition is improving.

“Tomorrow’s game he will play a part of the game. He will be ready for the game against Barcelona in the Champions League.

“At this moment, in every moment, it’s very important to have your players, all your players available.

“In this case, to have two No9s in Morata and Olivier Giroud… to have two options is very important for us.
