Mourinho says Costa must improve his fitness

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, has called on Diego Costa to work on his fitness, as the striker seems to end his barren run.

The former Atletico Madrid man took the Premier League by storm following his summer move and scored seven times in his first four appearances.

However, he has found the back of the net only twice in his last seven matches, having been slowed down by groin and hamstring issues.

“For me, the problem is not the goals – they will come as a consequence of his condition. He has to improve his condition. He was injured and had many doubts because he went a long time without training,” Mourinho said.

“Obviously that must have an effect on a player in the way he runs, the way he moves and in his co-ordination. I don’t think there is any problem but he has to recover.”
