Chelsea manager José Mourinho has bemoaned the loss of Diego Costa to injury.

The Brazilian-born forward aggravated a hamstring problem whilst on international duty with Spain and now Mourinho expects to be without him for Wednesday’s Champions League tie against Maribor and possibly Sunday’s trip to Manchester United.

“It"s the same problem that he"s having, but now an injury, not an ‘almost injury"," stated the tactician, as reported by BT Sport.

“Let"s see what happens for next weekend [at Old Trafford], but next weekend is not important. Important is tomorrow and tomorrow he cannot play."

Since joining from Atlético Madrid for a reported fee of €38 million in August, Costa has scored nine goals in nine appearances for Chelsea.
