Diego Costa’s fitness has been a major concern for boss Jose Mourinho who now faces a tough task as the Brazil-born Spanish striker has been ruled out of Chelsea’s trip to Manchester United next weekend.

The 26-year-old was involved during Spain’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Luxemborg despite Chelsea’s concern over his fitness. When asked about Costa’s condition, Mourinho said, “I have no idea. The only thing I can say is that, after the Arsenal game, he went to the national team. He played two big matches against Slovakia and Luxembourg, and he came back in conditions where he’s not available to play for his club.”
