Mourinho on the true cost of Costa's hamstring injury

Chelsea striker Diego Costa will be fit to face Manchester City on Sunday - in a game you can hear live on Newstalk.

José Mourinho says a hamstring problem means the Spanish forward can't play three games in a week, but the 24-year-old is still a dominant force on the team, provided he's used sparingly.

Costa came off the bench late in last night’s 1-1 draw with Schalke at Stamford Bridge.

The hosts had just over half of possession and created 18 shots, seven of which were on target.

German side Schalke were fairly equally matched, with 13 chances created and five on target.

After the game Mourinho spoke about Chelsea’s performance, Costa’s injury and why ‘the special one’ should not have to keep vindicating his choice of goalkeeper.
