Antonio Conte has confirmed that Alvaro Morata is set to return for Chelsea against Southampton on Saturday.

Morata has been nursing a slight back problem and was left out of the squad for the midweek win at Huddersfield.

But the striker has trained fully this week and is available to face the Saints.

“He had this pain in his back but he is in contention,” said Blues boss Conte, who has no new injury concerns ahead of this weekend’s game.

Meanwhile, Conte says he still does not know when David Luiz is likely to be available.
