Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is facing more than a month out with a
grade two hamstring injury.
He picked up in the Premier League defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
The 24 year old had hit the ground running since being signed from
Real Madrid for a club record £60m in the summer. Scoring seven goals
in as many games.
His injury is a setback for Chelsea as there is no direct replacement
that commands the same quality he posseses. Bashuayi is now expected
to get some run of games in that position in the absence of the Spain
international.
He would miss Spain's concluding World Cup qualifiers against Isreal
and Albania this week.
While he would not play a part in Chelsea's visit to Selhurst Park to
play Crystal Palace in the Premier League next week Saturday.
