Diego Costa injury: Jose Mourinho says striker could be back for Arsenal on 26 April

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says that Diego Costa will be back in training next week and could return for the Premier League game at Arsenal next Sunday. The striker has been sidelined because of his long-standing hamstring injury.

Mourinho was talking ahead of Saturday's league game against Manchester United, and says that fellow striker Loic Remy only has a "50/50" chance of playing. He added that he has no other injury concerns other than those two strikers.

"'I love my team, I love my squad and I love the objective we are fighting for," Mourinoh said in his press briefing today.

"Man United's squad is amazing in terms of numbers, solutions and experience.

"The safest option is to win 11 points, which we cannot do in two games but we can do in seven. We will change nothing."

Mourinho also passed comment on why Chelsea are the most abused team on social media - something which emerged in a Kick It Out study on Thursday.

"I think because we are boring. Top of the league since day one. It's something in this country people doesn't like."

Chelsea lead Arsenal by seven points at the top of the Premier League, while a win for United would see them leapfrog the Gunners to second place.
