Jose furious with Spain

Jose furious with Spain

Jose Mourinho has criticised the treatment of some of his Chelsea players on international duty after the manager revealed Diego Costa will miss Tuesday's Champions League clash with Maribor.
Mourinho confirmed Costa - who also missed the 2-1 weekend victory at Crystal Palace - aggravated an existing hamstring problem during the last international break with Spain when he faced Slovakia and Luxembourg in the space of four days.
The Chelsea manager insists he had no contact with Spain coach Vicente del Bosque or the national team's medical staff about Costa's condition before the player joined up with the Spanish squad.
And speaking ahead of the visit of Maribor to Stamford Bridge, he said: "It's the same problem that he is having but now an injury, not an almost injury.
"It's simple and he is not training because he is not in condition to do it."
