Jose Mourinho has revealed Diego Costa could miss Chelsea’s trip to Manchester United on Sunday with a persistent hamstring problem.
Mourinho and Chelsea are still fuming after Costa returned from international duty unfit to play.
And Mourinho has revealed that the nine goal striker, who missed Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace and is set to miss their Champions League tie against Maribor, isn’t even fit to train at the moment.
“It is the same problem. Only now it is an injury, not an ‘almost’ injury. It’s simple. Costa is not training because he is not in a condition to do so.”
“I have no idea how long he will be out. The weekend is not important right now – tomorrow he will not play.”
Chelsea are also heading in to the tie on Tuesday without midfielders Ramires, Jon Obi Mikel and Andre Schurrle through fitness problems.
