Spaniard could be fit to face Arsenal
Chelsea have been given a massive boost going into Sunday’s game with Arsenal after Jose Mourinho revealed that Diego Costa could be fit enough to start.
The Spaniard has been out injured with a hamstring issue since the start of April and was expected to miss at least a month, but Mourinho has confirmed that he has a chance of being fit for the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
Costa missed The Blues’ 1-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge which allowed Didier Drogba to start and play the full 90-minutes, but with the Ivorian and Loic Remy both injured, Mourinho was facing a selection headache.
Costa Fit in Time?
However, he confirmed today that the club’s top goalscorer could be back in time for the 4pm kick-off in North London.
“Diego, if not Arsenal, he’ll be back for Leicester.”
Costa scored in the reverse fixture earlier this year at Stamford Bridge. The game ended 2-0 to Chelsea.
