Striker Diego Costa wants to stay at Chelsea and will be available for Sunday's Premier League game against Hull City, says boss Antonio Conte.

The 28 year old was left out of last week's win at Leicester after a disagreement with a fitness coach, amid widespread reports of interest from Chinese clubs.

Chelsea said his omission was due to a back injury, and that training alone for two days was part of his recovery.

"I think the player wants to stay at Chelsea, he is happy to stay here and play for us," said Conte.

"I don't see any problem with our team. I heard a lot of speculation about Diego, but now the most important thing is he trained with us this week, he does not have any pain in his back and can play.

"He is an important player for us and we all know this. When he stays in good form he has always played with me."

Costa will make his 100th Chelsea appearance if he plays against Hull on Sunday and Conte is asked whether he will start?

"We will see, I don't want to give an advantage to the opponent," added the Italian. "A 100th appearance is fantastic for him and I hope to celebrate with a win."
