Alvaro Morata's wife Alice Campello posts video of Chelsea star dancing after Antonio Conte says back injury could keep him 'out for the season'

-

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte claimed on Friday that Alvaro Morata may not play again this season due to his niggling back injury.

The former Real Madrid frontman has missed Chelsea's last five games but he appeared in decent shape in a video shared by his wife Alice Campello on Sunday.

Footage posted on Instagram showed Morata and his missus dancing. It is unclear when it was filmed, but that did not stop many fans voicing their disapproval after seeing Morata twirl and then lift his partner, who is pregnant with their first child.

One supporter commented: 'He's supposed to have a bad back!!!!'

Another wrote: 'He should play instead of dancing.'

Chelsea — who host West Brom on Monday night — have struggled in Morata's absence, losing three of their last five games since he was involved.

Prior to his latest spell on the sidelines, the 25-year-old had netted 10 goals in 20 Premier League appearances.

Conte stopped well short of categorically ruling Morata out for the remainder of the campaign when he spoke to the media on Friday, but he was clearly very concerned.

He said: 'We talk a lot about bad results, but we are facing a serious situation, with players like Morata who are important, that are missing for a long time.

'He has this problem, we are trying to find a solution to solve the pain in his back.

'You ask me how long he is out, maybe he needs one day, one month, or is out for the season, I don't know. I am a bit worried as we know the importance of the player.'

Shaku Shaku: The origin and enablers of the viral street dance

Olamide Olamide took the fourth edition of his annual OLIC concert to the mainland for the first time; it’s obvious that the rap superstar has outgrown Eko Hotel’s overused Convention Center. The timely relocation granted ‘home advantage,’ of sorts, not only to the King of the Streets but also to the underground acts he customarily gives a platform to, as they performed in their natural habitat. In 2017, one of those acts was DJ Real, who’d built a solid reputation for hosting mixtapes containing the biggest street anthems, and for his work on local radio. The diminutive DJ is not to be mistaken for Mr. Real, the artist behind the street anthem “Legbegbe” (featuring Idowest, Obadice and Kelvin Chuks), who also performed at OLIC 4 and has played a significant role in the spread of a new viral dance called “shaku shaku”. Shaku shaku is a dance that’s performed by crossing your arms in front of each other at the wrist, widenin...

What Antonio Conte said to Lionel Messi after Barcelona win, defeated boss reveals conversation

Lionel Messi helped book Barcelona’s place in the Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea, with Antonio Conte seen in discussion with him after the game. The Argentine icon scored twice in a 3-0 win in the second leg at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night, adding to his strike at Stamford Bridge in the first leg as he was a crucial factor in the victory. Chelsea arguably played better football in the return fixture as they got themselves into plenty of threatening positions throughout the game, but couldn’t take their chances while also hitting the woodwork twice. In turn, with Barcelona not at their best, they had to rely on Messi to guide them forward, as he has done on countless occasions in the past. Much was made of the exchange between the Barcelona star and Chelsea boss Conte after the game, with BT Sport commenting on it too, as seen in the tweet below, while Gary Lineker joked in the studio that the Italian was ‘tapping him up’. ...

Dino Melaye, Senator representing Kogi West. [Photo Credit: Punch Newspapers] The Court of Appeal in Abuja has ruled that the recall process of Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West, be restarted. The senator had approached the appellate court in a bid to stop the process after an Abuja Federal High Court in September 2017 gave the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the go-ahead to begin Melaye’s recall process. In the latest judgement delivered on Friday, Justice Tunde Awotoye and two other judges ruled that there was no cause for action and the Federal High Court that adjudicated the case ought not to have entertained it in the first place. The Appeal Court held that Mr. Melaye’s claim was ‘hasty, premature and presumptuous,’ Vanguard reports. The court ordered INEC to continue with the planned verification of 188,588 who reportedly signed petition for the recall. Mr. Melaye is facing a recall by his constituents who in a petition...
