Diego Costa Continues To Need Substantial Rest With Hamstring Injury

Sep 18, 2014 2:25 PM

Chelsea remains concerned with the recurring hamstring injury to Diego Costa.

Costa was held out of Wednesday's Champions League match until the final 15 minutes.

“It was not to protect Costa for the game on Sunday [Manchester City vs. Chelsea], it was because he was not in condition to start the game,” José Mourinho said. “Playing on Saturday, three days is not enough for him to recover.”

Chelsea is expected to have Didier Drogba and Loic Remy play in less important matches to preserve Costa.

Sami Khedira Undergoes Knee Surgery, No Timetable For Return

Sep 11, 2014 3:55 PM

Sami Khedira has undergone an “arthroscopic revision” on his left knee, with no timetable yet set for the 27-year-old’s return.

Khedira recently suffered a left hamstring injury, which caused a rift between the club and the German national team.

Due to Khedira’s injury and Xabi Alonso’s departure before the summer transfer deadline, the club will need to rely heavily on Toni Kroos and Luke Modric, as well as youngster Asier Illarramendi.

Robin Van Persie Won't Need Knee Surgery

Sep 3, 2014 11:59 PM

Robin van Persie will not need knee surgery and will fight to keep his spot in the Manchester United XI.

"I am impressed that people have the imagination to invent something like that," said van Persie in regards to rumors of his injury.

"I do not know where it comes from and can say with my hand on my heart that I won't be in a hospital to have the operation."

Radamel Falcao's arrival has prompted questions whether he, Van Persie and Wayne Rooney can all fit into the same side or one of them will be dropped.

But Van Persie said of Falcao, "I welcome his arrival, he makes us better. At a top club you should always go for the best, which also fits my philosophy.

"Falcao must fight for his place, as I also have to. We must duke with Wayne Rooney and James Wilson to see who's playing."
