Conte: "On Tues during training Diego felt a pain in his back. From that moment he didn't train. For this reason he wasn't available."

Conte, asked again about the Costa situation, says 'this is the truth' about his previous answer. Says he knows nothing of Chinese interest.

Conte is asked if Costa will train next Tuesday: "It is importantarrow-10x10.png to understand his physical condition."

Conte is asked if Costa will face Hull if he is fit: "I prefer not to reply, when the question starts with 'if'."

Conte, pushed one final time on whether Costa will play for Chelsea again: "Why not?"

Costa was not in the squad following reports of an argument with the Chelsea coaching staff over back pains the striker reported on Tuesday. But Alonso, who scored Chelsea's first two goals in Costa's absence, said all was well in the Chelsea camp.

"You guys made up the story," Alonso told the BBC after the game. "Diego wasn't feeling well because of his back. He's very happy and will have a great enough season at Chelsea.

I suppose it's possible that this bloke, who ever he is, knows something. On the other hand, it seems more likely that this isย just a ridiculous extrapolation from Antonio!s post match press conference. In that conference he said, a number of times, that the playersย are training again on Tuesday soย we'll see.ย Taken in context, that simply meant Tuesday would be his earliestย opportunity to see how Diego's "injury" is progressing.ย

Dont forget that he is the best possible striker we could have right now. Well, maybe Suarez is even better, but he for sure aint coming.ย 

Auba, Lukaku, Belotti, etc are all several levels below Costa.ย 

I hope there was nothing serious and we manage to keep Diego here.ย

just watched the first half of Everton vs Man city and realised Lukaku will fit perfectly in chelsea. no need for any adjustments since he is already experienced in the epl.

y the hell did Mour sell in the first place. i hope this situation doesnt end up like Man U and Pogba.

Well, is Costa said he was feelling his back, medical staff said he had nothing, and Conte was behind the medical staff, and even told Costa to "go to China", I will start to question Conte ability to manage his players. That game where Costa asked to be substituted and Conte refused was a bad sign, since the game was over, and Costa was not needed to get a positive result at that point.

Ok, someone will say "read Pirlo's book" to prove Conte is really good in managing his players, but he is in a different environment. A former Juventus legend working in Italy for Juventus is a different animal than being an italian guy in a english club full of foreign players.

Conte is Italian and maybe a hot fuse (very likely). Diego is the father of all hot fuses. They had an argument, said things in the heat of the moment. They have been bromancing for weeks now. It's just the media trying to make a storm out of a teacup - even if Conte had said what they claim he did.

There is a lot of pressure in top professional football, I think those rows are so minor and common. It's such a nonstory imo.

It doesn't mean Diego won't end up in China eventually (I believe he won't), it doesn't mean it won't involve an apology, it doesn't mean it won't feel a bit awkward for a small while, but this happens, especially when an Italian such as Conte is at the head. It comes with with package. He won't show passion only positively. Sometimes it brings this stuff. I've moved on already.

For exactly the same reason that no Champions League club wanted Lukaku enough to make an offer for him when he was being hawked around this summer.ย
