FA Community Shield 2018 - 5 players to watch out for

#4 Alvaro Morata (Chelsea)

For Alvaro Morata, it will be a search of redemption

Chelsea had a lot of faith of Alvaro Morata when they signed him from Spanish giants Real Madrid last summer for a hefty fee of around £60 million. However, Morata was stepping into a big Diego Costa shaped hole who had fired Chelsea to two league titles in the previous three years.

Since then, things haven't gone too well for the Spaniard as he lost his place in the national team as well as losing the support of the Chelsea faithful. The Spanish forward is not having a particularly good pre-season as he is yet to find the back of the net in the three games.

Meanwhile, rumours were rife that Chelsea were willing to rope in Gonzalo Higuain to replace the struggling forward. But now that those rumours are put to bed and the Argentine has landed in AC Milan, Morata knows he has the backing of the club.

He needs to repay the faith with some good performances, and what better match can there be than the FA Community Shield?
