LONDON, United Kingdom, Aug 1 – Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has admitted that new signing Alvaro Morata still needs time to get his fitness levels up to the required standard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The striker completed his \u00a365m move from Real Madrid on July 21 and has only trained with the Blues for a week. Conte believes the 24-year-old still needs work on his physicals to slot into the Chelsea lineup.<\/p>\n

Conte told The Sun: “Morata is just starting to train with us. He has to improve his condition a lot to adapt quickly into our team.<\/p>\n

“He is working well but it has been only five days. Today, he tried to do his best but for sure he has to improve.”<\/p>\n

The Spaniard may sit out Chelsea’s Community Shield fixture against Arsenal at Wembley on Sunday as he focuses on improving his conditioning.<\/p>\n
