Deigo Costa is fit and will be available for Chelsea’s Premier League tie against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, revealed manager Jose Mourinho during his press conference ahead of the tie.
"He played for the national team and we lost him for four matches. Crystal Palace, Maribor, Shrewsbury and Manchester United, four matches in three different competitions," he revealed in the conference. "Now he is again available but he needs to be under special care.
“I'm always supportive of players playing for their countries when they are in the condition to do so. But I'm nobody to stand in the way of the national team, I can't stop him going away with his country.”
Mourinho also heaped praise towards club legend Didier Drogba for his recent form, stating, "Me, the owner, the board, him - we all decided together for him to come back - we believed in him and he believed in himself and that he could still be important.”
He adds, "He has been fantastic for us in the last week when we were in real trouble, without Diego [Costa] and without Remy. He had to do what no one should do - play 90 minutes of football with 48 hours difference and he managed to do that in a fabulous way."
