Chelsea's Diego Costa, Gary Cahill fit to face Arsenal in Community Shield

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Diego Costa and Gary Cahill are both fit to play in Sunday's Community Shield match against Arsenal at Wembley.

Costa was a doubt for the encounter due to a knock, while Cahill suffered a suspected broken nose during a pre-season friendly against Barcelona on Wednesday.

However, today, Mourinho confirmed in a press conference that the pair will be fit to feature in the curtain raiser of the new season.

Chelsea will begin the defence of their Premier League title with a home clash against Swansea City at Stamford Bridge on August 8.
