Alvaro Morata and Marcos Alonso enjoyed a recovery session on Sunday after Chelsea's tough victory over Leicester, but the duo's attention will now turn to a tricky Champions League matchup with Azerbaijani outfit Qarabag.

Chelsea return to Europe's elite competition after they missed out last season and Antonio Conte will be hoping his side can continue their rich vein of form to navigate a tricky tie against Qarabag.

Alvaro Morata, who is also in fine form ahead of the game, posted a photo to Instagram showing him alongside teammate Marcos Alonso. 

The striker netted in Chelsea's 2-1 win over Leicester on Saturday and following the match, Morata told the club's website: 'It was a very important win.

'Against teams like Leicester it’s always very difficult and we suffered in the last minutes having been 2-0 up, but that’s the Premier League.

‘I’m feeling good but we are not in first place, which is the most important thing, so we must keep working.’
