Chelsea star Diego Costa has revealed he is close to being 100% fit in his battle with a hamstring problem,Daily Star reports.
The Brazilian-born striker has started every Premier League fixture thus far, but Blues manager Jose Mourinho has warned that Costa is not capable of playing three games in one week with his recurring injury.
Costa has been struggling with his hamstring ever since last season, when he was pulled out of the UEFA Champions League final as well as underperforming for Spain in the FIFA World Cup.
And last week the former Atletico Madrid ace was left on the bench for the visit of FC Schalke, which ended in a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
However Costa himself is adamant he will be at his full fitness very soon.
“I am still carrying some hamstring discomfort, but every day I feel better,” he said. “The truth is that over the past week I have worked fine.
“I suffered an injury with Spain and could not play against Macedonia (two weeks ago). It was a shame but then during that week I was treated and could play [against Swansea).
"I'm working to get the best physical condition soon. The games we have now, almost every three days, will help me to get fit.”
Costa is hoping to be ready for when Chelsea host Aston Villa in the next Premier League fixture this weekend.
