"He has to show these months the player he is inside."Morata broke out of a slump on Sunday, scoring his first goal of 2018 in a 2-1 win over Leicester City that sent Chelsea to the FA Cup semi-finals. He has scored 13 goals in 39 games for Chelsea this season.  The 25-year-old has found the net 13 times in 23 caps for Spain since debuting in 2014, having represented his nation at the 2016 European Championship.</blockquote>
