Chelsea striker Diego
Costa is in doubt for
Saturday's Premier
League trip to
Everton with a minor
muscular problem.
The Spain forward -
who arrived at
Chelsea from Atletico Madrid for a reported
£32million fee in July - has quickly settled to life in
England.
Costa has scored in both of Chelsea's Premier League
wins this term while his pre-season form was also
encouraging.
But the 25-year-old could miss his side's visit to
Goodison Park after a Chelsea spokesman confirmed to
Perform that he was suffering from a "minor muscular
injury".
Chelsea added that the situation would be closely
monitored in the coming days.
The news will come as a blow to Jose Mourinho as he
looks to guide Chelsea to a rare win at Everton.
The Merseyside club have won four of the last five
league matches between the two sides at the venue.
Ex-Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o is in line for his
Everton debut in Saturday's match
