Diego Costa

[Special Juan 27,424]

Thought his pace was brilliant, and he ran the channels well. His goal was great, just hope the knock isn't bad and we have him ready to move on after the international break.

[Jase 43,479]

19 goals in the Premier League, level with Kane and two ahead of Aguero. C'mon Diego!

On the other hand, please tell me the talk of his hamstring injury was just a ploy to get him off international duty!

yeah, he's just coming back to form.

Still, we have King Remy to turn to otherwise!

"Injured", just before the international break?

[DH1988 1,273]

Expecting to see skrtel retrospectively banned for leading his foot in on De Gea

Alan shearer and Jason Roberts both agreed it was on par with Costa.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Malaga's Juanmi called up to Spain NT to replace Diego.

[supporter 3,088]

I believe that when summer arrives Diego Costa has to operate surgically your problem with the hamstring.

Diego takes a year and a half with the same problem and we have to do something to prevent further injury playing. I think it's the best solution for him

Diego in good physical shape is the best striker in the world. More or less he would have three months to recover from this surgical operation before the start of the following season. it's time more than enough for him to put in his best physical condition.

Maybe for the next season we will need another striker. Although not if as Icardi or Harry Kane. Maybe Icardi not be a real competition, and Kane would oblige him to play a match Diego Costa and the next Kane.

I do not know, but we need a player who can be supplemented with Diego because he is very fragile physically.

Continue with conservative treatments for Diego is not the solution.

Regards.

It has been a while since we're talking about his hamstring before international break. Why am I not worried.

[LAB 1,030]

Just when he is hitting form he's getting injured. Our fukking luck!

On the other hand if this is an excuse, we know that resting is not good for him, is it?

[Jase 43,479]

Chelsea’s Diego Costa withdrawn from Spain squad with hamstring injury

Mission accomplished?

[empire of emotions 247]

ofc he's not faking the injury. maybe if we were 2-0 and then subbed off, but at 2-2 when we have to score....no way.

Yes, but you forget that Jose can see the future...

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

I think we've had him for long enough to realize he is a striker that needs to play games. Whenever he has got an injury or suspension this season, when he omes back it takes 3 or 4 games for him to be his typical self. I hope this break doesn't affect him too much as we're entering the most important stage of our campaign.

But if it does, we have Loic who scores a goal every time he plays... 7 starts, six goals.

He has no technical ability apparently....

Open play chances created for others

37 - Diego Costa

It isn’t just about the goals with Costa. The Premier League’s joint-top scorer has also fashioned 37 chances for his Chelsea team-mates – more than any other striker in the country. It helps when you have Eden Hazard in support but it’s clear that Costa is the leader of the line that Jose Mourinho craved. Also high on this list are Southampton’s Graziano Pelle and Rooney – with the Manchester United man top if you include his set-piece deliveries.

No one tops the league scoring charts at this stage of the season (almost April) by being bad. So costa, Kane and aguero are damn good strikers

Good and bad news at the same time. At least he will get some rest.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Nout a good rest won't sort.
