Diego Costa has been a little bit hard to track since returning from national team duty with Spain. The forward, who's scored nine goals in just seven league appearances so far, came back to London with some combination of a) the hamstring problem that's been bothering him all season b) a new groin injury and c) a viral infection so bad he had to be hospitalised. Rumours have been swirling around his health, most of them conflicting, so it's nice to have some palpable evidence that he is, indeed, back at Cobham getting ready for training:
Yep, that's Ramires with him as well. We haven't seen the Brazilian since he had the [fun] kicked out of him during the 1-1 draw at Manchester City, and the midfield has been stretched fairly thin as a result. Having his energy available will be pretty useful as we get into the dread month of November.
