Diego Costa has arrived back in London.

The Spain international has spent the summer in his hometown of Lagarto in Brazil, refusing to report to pre-season training after he received a text message from Antonio Conte that said he was not in his plans for the upcoming season.

But according to Marca, the 28-year old has left to begin repairing his relationship with Chelsea.

Costa is desperate for a move to his former club Atletico Madrid, but a deal has been made complicated due to Atleti's transfer ban, which ends in January.

Los Rojiblancos are said to of instructed Costa to reconcile with the Blues and wait till January for a deal to be completed.

The striker, who bagged 20 league goals last season, has been training with a personal trainer in Brazil, but Atletico want him fully-fit before the next round of international fixtures in October.
