Diego Costa won't return to Chelsea to even clearout locker

Diego Costa is happy to leave someone else to clearout his locker at Chelsea.

The Sun says the AWOL striker has told pals anything of his at the club's Cobham HQ is up for grabs.

Costa, 28, is determined to force a move back to Atletico Madrid after being told he is not wanted by Antonio Conte.

But the situation has reached a stalemate with the Premier League champions refusing to sell until he reports back for duty.

They say he should honour his contract and get himself back to the club to get fit.

Costa revealed last week he felt he was treated like a “criminal" by Chelsea and does not want to return.
