Super League club and will miss Chelsea's game at
Leicester
Diego Costa has been dropped from Chelsea's squad
to face Leicester after a row with manager Antonio
Conte, according to Sky sources.
It is understood he has not trained with the first-
team for the last three days after he was the subject
of a £30m-per-year offer from a club in the Chinese
Sky sources understand the Spain striker has become
unsettled by the approach from China, which would
make him one of the highest paid footballers in the
world, and he became embroiled in an argument with
two fitness coaches.
Conte then stepped in and, according to Sky in Italy,
the row ended with the Italian shouting: "Go to
China!"
Sky sources understand that owner Roman
Abramovich has no intention of selling Costa, who
has two-and-a-half years left on his contract.
The 28-year-old Spain international did though
express his support for his team-mates late on Friday
night by posting a photo on Instagram from the
Blues' win over Tottenham in November, along with
the caption: "Come on Chelsea!!!", plus a heart emoji.
But it comes as a major blow to Chelsea as the
Premier League leaders look to get their title bid
back on track at the King Power Stadium on Saturday
evening, following their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham last
week.
