The Sun had a story today, the gist of was something to the effect of: Diego Costa will start for Chelsea against Sporting Lisbon as Jose Mourinho gambles with his star striker’s fitness. Well, I guess the gamble paid off as Costa played and Chelsea dominated Sporting today with a 1-nil victory in the UEFA Champions League. Costa had a clear chance and blew it.
Which was surprising given what his form has been lately. But the bigger issue is Jose Mourinho and how he’s saying he’s going to go about managing Diego Costa.
