Diego Costa has been dropped from Chelsea’s squad to face Leicester after a row with manager Antonio Conte.
The Spain International did not train with the rest of the squad for the past three days after he was the subject of a £30m-per-year offer from a club in the Chinese Super League.
It is also revealed that the 28-year-old has had a bust up over an injury with a club fitness coach which developed into a heated row with Conte.
Sources claim Conte shouted ‘go to China’ and Costa did not travel to Leicester.
But after being left out, Costa has taken to Instagram, posting a message declaring: “Come on Chelsea!!!”
Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid for £32m in 2014 and the 28-year-old has scored 50 goals for the Blues in all competitions.
The Brazilian born Costa has been in superb form this season and is the league’s top scorer with 14 goals.
The league leaders are five points clear and Conte is now expected to use Eden Hazard as his centre-forward against the champions.
