Costa back at Chelsea training

Chelsea striker, Diego Costa, has finally reunited with his Chelsea teammates in training.

Costa was said to be angling for a move to China and has been training alone for some days.

There was a reported heated argument between Costa and Chelsea coach Antonio Conte which seems to have been resolved.

ESPN reports that there were no individual talks held between Conte and Costa on Tuesday. Instead, the striker was assessed by Chelsea’s medical staff prior to training and deemed to be in good enough shape to rejoin the rest of the squad.

Both sides have adopted a more conciliatory tone since news broke of the row and Conte’s decision to leave Costa out of the Leicester trip on Friday, though the episode has cast doubt on his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

It is yet to be seen if Costa walk straight into the first eleven as Chelsea get set to face Hull City in the next round of games inthe league.
