Alvaro Morata explains why Antonio Conte hasn’t called him

Alvaro Morata has jokily explained why despite rumours to the contrary, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte hasn’t been in touch.

The striker is proving his worth as a sub for Real Madrid once again, coming on in games and playing in rotated lineup with great effect, as was notable earlier this week when he netted a hattrick against Leganes.

However this is not the reason he moved back to Madrid, and he is keen once again to find somewhere he can start week in week out.

That could end up being at Chelsea, but the striker said in an interview with Goal that he had not been contacted by Antonio Conte?

The reason?

Conte does not have his new phone number, according to the 24 year old.
