Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho Criticizes Diego Costa’s Fitness
Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, claims that Diego Costa’s dry spell comes down to the striker’s poor physical condition.
Costa, who joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in the summer and was an immediate success, has scored just twice in his past seven matches for Chelsea.
After his side’s first defeat of the season, his manager has said that he will only be able to return to his original run of form if he can return to peak fitness levels.
“For me, the problem is not the goals,” the Portuguese manager told The Guardian.
“They will come as a consequence of his condition. He has to improve his condition. He was injured and had many doubts because he went a long time without training.
“Obviously that must have an effect on a player in the way he runs, the way he moves and in his co-ordination. I don’t think there is any problem but he has to recover.”
Diego Costa will look to return to his best form, which saw him score seven goals in his first four appearances, when Chelsea take on Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Diego Costa has scored 11 goals in 16 appearances for Chelsea this season.
