Chelsea forward Diego Costa insists he is ready to play for Spain despite club manager Jose Mourinho publically stating several times that his striker needs a rest.
The Brazilian-born Spanish international has been a revelation since moving to the Premier League club in the summer from Atletico Madrid.
And the 25-year-old has insisted that whilst he has some problems with injuries, they are now getting better.
And Costa believes Spain boss Vincente del Bosque will handle him with care during the international break.
Daily Star quoted the forward, he said: “I’m here ready to play.
“I’ve had some problems but it’s getting better.
“I’ve already played three games in a week and the coach (Del Bosque) knows that I carry some problems but I will treat them during the week.”
