Alvaro Morata is expected to miss both Champions League showdowns with Roma after the Chelsea striker was ruled out for four to eight weeks.
The former Juventus and Real Madrid forward pulled up during Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League defeat to Manchester City.
He has been diagnosed with a Grade II hamstring injury in his left leg and this type of problem usually requires anywhere from four to eight weeks on the sidelines.
