Antonio Conte has been speaking in his regular pre match press conference, and he has confirmed that Alvaro Morata is fit to face Huddersfield.
Conte on team news for Huddersfield: " Morata is fit and in contention for tomorrow's game" #CFC

There was a panic on Sunday after Morata didn’t appear in the matchday squad.
There was plenty of wild speculation about why that was, and some theorised that the manager may not have been happy about the extensive interview the forward gave in midweek.
But those rumours were immediately quashed by the confirmation from the club that the former Real Madrid man had picked up an injury in training on Saturday.
It was only a minor knock however, and he’s already back in contention for tomorrow’s game. He might even get a start too, if Conte decides to rest Olivier Giroud.
Either way, having two striker available is the bare minimum one should expect from a club of Chelsea’s size.
Chelsea face Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge tomorrow evening.
