Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has defended the decision to not allow Diego Costa to join up with Spain.

The Brazilian born forward missed the most recent round of international matches due to a reported injury and despite suggestions that he could have featured, Mourinho insists leaving Costa out was the only option.

“I trust my doctor 100%," he said, as reported by Football Espana. "If [Vicente] Del Bosque doesn’t trust his doctor that is his problem not my problem.

“I speak with my doctor and I believe in what my doctor tells me. Nothing else. No problem.

“Fabregas was in a doubtful situation, Diego no. Diego recovered totally from his problem with these two weeks that he had to rest and to improve his injury.

“Fabregas is different. Fabregas survived. Diego no, Diego now is in great condition."
