CHELSEA’S COSTA UNLIKELY TO UNDERGO SURGERY

CHELSEA’S COSTA UNLIKELY TO UNDERGO SURGERY – MOURINHO

Diego Costa will not under the knife according to Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

The Spanish striker again succumbed to his troublesome hamstring in the second half of the Blues’ eventual 3-2 win over Hull City which could see him sidelined for a week or two.

When quizzed whether or not Costa would require surgery, Mourinho suggested it was highly unlikely as Chelsea continue their title pursuit in the Premier League.

"I don't think it will need an operation,” he said after Costa netted his 19th league goal of the campaign.

"Our doctor is against surgeries, against knives. We are all in favour of conservative work and collective work between medical department and fitness technical staff. This is the direction we believe."
