Injury or not, it's obvious that's what we need to do.

Torres and Drogba are embarrassing back-ups for a club in our position.

Guardian's report:

Chelsea suffered an injury scare in training on Wednesday after Diego Costa pulled up with a hamstring injury, though the severity of the strain remains to be determined.

The Spain international, a £32m signing from Atlético Madrid this summer, will undergo further tests at Cobham and while the initial prognosis appeared grim, there are hopes the injury will not prove as severe as first feared.

Could be nothing, doesn't sound like a month out, to me.

Must be a concern on some level. Missed parts of last season and wasnt fit for CL finale because of a same torn hamstring.

by Kick Thu Aug 28, 2014 11:33 am

That is the worry, but I am waiting for an official announcement before I panic (which I will if it's bad)

by Shed Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:19 pm

Even if it's not bad it's cause for concern. As Franchise said, a recurring problem with the same hamstring is deeply unsettling regardless its severity this time around.

I'm more concerned about this now then I was earlier today

'The first team squad had a single training session in preparation for our weekend trip to Everton and virtually everybody was involved this morning, however, Diego Costa remained inside - this, just a precaution though, he's been suffering with a minor muscular injury.

He will be monitored over the next couple of days but should still be in contention for the game at Goodison on Saturday evening.'

So the reports of a problem weren't bullshit but the exaggeration in them was. No surprise there then.

Chelsea TV confirms Costa will be fit for Everton

Tbf to him, he wasn't the one who reported that story.

by Shed Fri Aug 29, 2014 3:02 am

But he gave credence to it.

by Blue Barrett Fri Aug 29, 2014 3:04 am

Not exactly. But he wouldn't want to imply that his colleague knows fk all about the situation. From what I've seen, he only hinted at the situation.

by Shed Fri Aug 29, 2014 3:10 am

@1RobBeasley: Bad news

@1RobBeasley: Good night. Flying to Zurich early tomorrow. Check out online for the Chelsea striker story!!!! Not good.

@1RobBeasley: Antony can sleep soundly tonight folks. Good night.

Whether or not he said anything outright, he'll have known the kind of inferences people were gonna make based on the hints he appeared to be dropping - and he kept it up anyway, cause it gets him attention, and that's what he, quite sadly, lives on.
