Sarri: Morata’s Chelsea career isn’t over

By Daily Sports on December 10, 2018

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says that Alvaro Morata understands why he was left out of the squad entirely for Saturday’s 2-0 win over Manchester City, and that the Blues striker does have a future at the club.

Eden Hazard started up front as Sarri looked to use his pace on the counter-attack, leaving out both Morata and Olivier Giroud from the starting line-up for the first time since joining the club.

Morata’s last two starts were defeats away at Tottenham and Wolves, where he failed to last more than 65 minutes in either match. Sarri however has reassured the striker, who cost £58 million plus add-ons in the summer of 2017, that he has not made any decisions on his future at the club.

“I think it is normal, it was a choice for this kind of match,” Sarri told reporters at Stamford Bridge.

“I don’t know if in Brighton we will play in the same way or not, maybe not. I don’t know. I think Alvaro is able to understand that it is only a tactical decision, it is not the final choice.

“We thought yesterday that for the first time in the season that there was a possibility to have more spaces - so we wanted to try with Eden - because for the first time there was a possibility to play on the counter-attack.

“Willian, Hazard and Pedro are really very suitable for this kind of play, so it is a normal choice. I think that it is really a very good option and maybe we will try it again in the future. Especially for certain matches.”

Morata was left out of a Chelsea squad for the first time this season against City and he is still yet to win the hearts and minds of all around the club since his big money move. (Goal)
