Costa has been given some time off by the club amid reports of a move away.

The 28-year-old, has been linked with a move away having been told by text he is not part of manager Antonio Conte’s plans.

Costa revealed to reporters last month that Conte had told him via text message he was not under consideration for selection, and Conte’s view is said to have not changed.

However, Costa wasn’t seen at training on Monday, with both Diego and Chelsea understood to be keen to avoid unnecessary distractions.

“It was agreed with the club that he should have an extra few days off,” said a statement on the club’s website.

Costa is expected to stay away for at least the remainder of this week.

The striker was the only player missing from Chelsea’s Cobham training ground other than Antonio Rudiger, who only joined the club on Sunday.
