'Morata in perfect shape' - Pedro expecting floodgates to open for Chelsea striker

The Spanish striker has seen his goal drought ended and is being backed to kick on after shaking off fitness and form issues at Stamford Bridge

Alvaro Morata is “perfect” again, says Chelsea team-mate Pedro, with the striker being backed to put a testing run behind him.

The Spanish striker had endured a 13-game drought without a goal prior to finding the target in an FA Cup quarter-final clash with Leicester.

His struggles had seen him benched by Antonio Conte and left out of the latest squad selected by his country.

Fellow countryman Pedro is, however, confident that belief will return to the 25-year-old’s game now that he is back on target.
