Jose Mourinho not worried by Diego Costa absence

Mourinho not worried by Costa absence

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that he is not worried by Diego Costa's absence for tomorrow's visit of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues' leading goalscorer is suspended for the clash at Stamford Bridge after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season during last weekend's draw with Sunderland.

Despite Costa's unavailability for the match, Mourinho is confident that Didier Drogba and Loic Remy will be able to fill the void left by the Spaniard.

"We don't speak about Diego," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "We trust Remy and Drogba the same way we trust Diego. This is not our way of work. So forget Diego. We trust the other two and we go with the other two."

Chelsea currently sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League table thanks to their unbeaten start to the season.
