Masked Diego Costa to lead Chelsea into battle

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is set to face Newcastle in a protective face mask after he broke his nose in training.

Interim boss Guus Hiddink revealed yesterday the striker suffered the injury in a training ground collision with academy player Canadian defender Fikayo Tomori, who was training with the first-team squad.

“Diego got in a duel, got his nose broken,” Hiddink said. “He put his nose on the back of the head and he was very unlucky.”
