Chelsea boss Mourinho: Diego Costa will start against PSG

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says Diego Costa will start against Champions League opponents PSG.

The forward has missed the last three domestic games through suspension.

"Yes, I start him. But I don't think it's good for a player to be three weeks, or three matches, without starting a game," Mourinho said.

"So I don't think he's in the best of his condition. But, at the same time, [Loic] Remy and [Didier] Drogba have played in the last three matches. Obviously it is important for them to have minutes and confidence. I know that I have them both ready for the game, too."
