Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri said on Thursday that the knee injury that striker Alvaro Morata suffered in the Blues' 2-2 UEFA Europa League draw at Vidi in Hungary was "not serious."

The striker was forced off with the problem in stoppage time at the end of the first half and replaced by Olivier Giroud. Sarri said the club's initial diagnosis was optimistic.

"No, the first impression of the doctor is that it isn't too bad, not serious," he said, per FourFourTwo. "But of course with this situation, we have to wait and wait until tomorrow, I think, to see if the situation is serious.
