Report: Diego Costa expected to start for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is reportedly expected to lead the line for the Blues in their clash with Manchester United, despite his recent injury struggles.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is expected to start in his side's Premier League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The 26-year-old missed Chelsea's Champions League win over Maribor in midweek as he has been struggling with a hamstring injury.

The striker was also forced into hospital for an overnight stay due to suffering from a virus.

However, Costa has managed to recover from his ailments and proved his fitness to manager Jose Mourinho ahead of the showdown with the Red Devils, reports the Daily Mail.

The Spanish international has scored nine goals for the Blues in the Premier League this season following his £32m move from Atletico Madrid.
