Former Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit believes Eden Hazard and Willian dont trust Alvaro Morata and thinks the pair are purposefully not creating chances for the Spain international.
The Spaniard has struggled since his arrival at Stamford Bridge having left Real Madrid and has scored two goals in seven Premier League matches so far this year.
But Gullit suggested the 25-year-old isnt getting a fair crack at life in English football and his team-mates arent creating chances for him.
They dont come into any positions where they create anything for him, Gullit said on beINSports.
The worst part is you can see Willian and Hazard always dribble inside because they dont trust him.
But also when the crosses are in, I think there was a moment in the first half where you asked “where is Morata”, he wasnt there. So they dont trust him.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for a new centre-forward, with Mauro Icardi thougt to be their top target.
However, Maurizio Sarri denied that the Blues are in a rush to replace the former Juventus frontman.
I dont think they know me very well, I dont think about the market, Sarri said.
I continue to focus on the team, in the last few months Morata has played better and in the last three days I have seen him in training (play) very, very well.
