London: Chelsea striker Diego Costa will return for tomorrow’s home game with Hull City after missing last weekend’s 3-0 victory at Leicester City, manager Antonio Conte revealed yesterday.


A back problem was the official reason for Costa’s absence at Leicester, but there were reports it stemmed from a row with fitness coach Julio Tous. “He’s available for Chelsea,” Conte said. “He restarted having training sessions on Tuesday with the rest of the team.”


Costa, Chelsea’s top scorer with 14 league goals, was reported to be the subject of a approach from a Chinese club. But Conte said: “I think the player wants to stay at Chelsea. He’s very happy to play with us. This idea (to move) is far from his mind.”
