Spain and Chelsea's Diego Costa may face France after injury scare
Monday 27 March 2017 14:36, UK
Diego Costa is in Paris with the Spain national team and could still play in Tuesday night’s friendly match against France.
The Chelsea striker suffered a scare at the weekend after hurting his foot and ankle in Spain's training session and underwent an X-ray with the 28-year old appearing to have escaped any serious injury.
Sky sources have told SSNHQ that Costa will undergo a fitness test before the friendly fixture in the French capital.
He has been in prolific form this season, scoring 22 goals in 35 games for club and country, and any injury would have been a big blow to Chelsea boss Antonio Conte as his side closes on the Premier League title.
Chelsea play London rivals Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on April 1 when the top-flight resumes after the international break before they face Manchester City at home four days later.
They also head to Manchester United on Sunday April 16, live on Sky Sports 1HD.
Costa scored in Friday's 4-1 win over Israel in their World Cup Qualifier.
