Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata is yet to reach the fitness level required by
manager Antonio Conte.
According to Conte, the £65m summer signing from Real Madrid 'needs to
improve his fitness quickly' and may have to sit out Sunday's Community
Shield fixture at Wembley against Arsenal.
Conte told The Sun: "Morata is just starting to train with us.
"He has to improve his condition a lot to adapt quickly into our team.
"He is working well but it has been only five days. Today, he tried to do
his best but for sure he has to improve."
