Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is confident he will be fit to face Crystal Palace on October 14 despite pulling out of the Spain squad with a hamstring injury.
Standard Sport understands that Morata has told close friends that he expects to be sidelined for a few days before resuming training next week.
Morata aggravated the problem during the first half of Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday and asked to be substituted.
Morata has made an impressive start to his career at Stamford Bridge having joined from Real Madrid for a club record £58m in July.
He has scored seven goals in just eight appearances
