Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has confirmed that Spanish international Diego Costa has fully recovered from his injury and will be able to face Middlesbrough in their English Premier League (EPL) tie on Sunday.
Costa fell from the Spain squad for the duels against Macedonia (4-0) and England (2-2) after suffering a bruise in the left groin, an injury sustained during Chelsea's tie against Everton, reports Efe.
"I have all the players available, they are in good form," said the Italian coach on Friday in the Chelsea sports city of Cobham, southwest London.
"Costa had a bit of an injury after the game against Everton. He started to train with us on Wednesday, his physical condition is good, there is also tomorrow (Saturday) to perfectly look at the situation," he added.
