Chelsea stars arrive in Singapore as £70m striker Alvaro Morata prepares to meet new team-mates

• Chelsea have landed in Singapore as they continue pre-season preparations  
• Alvaro Morata was already in Singapore having completed his £70million move
• Blues will face Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in Singapore after beating Arsenal 

Chelsea have arrived in Singapore following their six-hour flight from Beijing with Alvaro Morata set to meet his new team-mates for the first time.

Winger Pedro was absent from Antonio Conte's squad after he flew back to London following concussion during the 3-0 win over Arsenal at the Bird's Nest Stadium on Saturday.

It means Antonio Conte is without his entire first choice attack from last season as he continues preparations for the new campaign.

Eden Hazard is injured after breaking an ankle training with Belgium at the end of last season and is not expected to be fit until the end of September. 

Diego Costa has been omitted from the tour as he tries to complete a transfer to Atletico Madrid. 

But the Premier League champions will be boosted by the presence of Morata, who flew direct to Singapore from England after completing his £70.6million move from Real Madrid on Friday. 

Chelsea face Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup this week, and Morata could make his first appearance for the club.

The Spain international could line up alongside two from Willian, Michy Batshuayi or Jeremie Boga in three-pronged attack. The latter dazzled on Saturday after coming on as a substitute for Pedro.

A brace from Batshuayi added to Willian's opener in Beijing against Arsenal, and Chelsea will hope to take their formidable start to pre-season into their next two glamour friendlies.

As the Gunners were put to the sword, a strong Bayern Munich were swept aside by new-look AC Milan 4-0 in Shenzhen meaning they will want to respond with a good display when the two teams lock horns on Tuesday at the National Stadium. 

After the two friendlies in Singapore, Chelsea return to England in preparation for the FA Community Shield against Arsenal on August 6, with their opening Premier League fixture against Burnley at Stamford Bridge the following week.
