Diego Costa was subbed off in this evenings game versus Stoke shortly after coming on due to a reoccurring hamstring injury. The Premier League’s joint top scorer pulled up and instantly signalled to the bench that he needed to brought off.
Mourinho confirmed it’s too early to put an exact date on when he will be back, but he says he will be out for at least two weeks.
‘We did every test, we did every scan. The player trained two days 100 per cent with the team. The medical department was convinced he was ready; the player was convinced he was ready – not for 90 minutes but to play and help the team.’
It’s too early [to say how long he will be out]. He has to go home, wait 48 hours and do all the scans again. He will be out for sure for a couple of weeks. We have seven weeks and eight matches until the end of the season, so for sure for half of it he has to be with us.
