Diego Costa plans confronting Chelsea boss Conte in tunnel tonight

Atletico Madrid signing Diego Costa is planning to confront Chelsea boss Antonio Conte tonight.

Chelsea will be at the Wanda Metropolitano for their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.

The Mirror says Conte told reporters in the build-up that he had no hard feelings towards the man brutally dumped by text during the summer.

Chelsea have since been told that Costa will be waiting in the tunnel area of Atletico's new stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano, for a face-to-face.

The striker also wants the chance to say goodbye to his old team-mates and club staff, after refusing all attempts to get him to return to England since the end of last season.
