Former Chelsea player Joe Cole thinks Chelsea’s Premier quest to the Premier League can only be halted if Diego Costa gets injured. The striker has been in sensational form for the Blues.
Chelsea haven’t had any injuries so far this season which is a major factor behind their brilliant run. They have lost only one match in their last 16 fixtures. The West Londoners have stretched the lead to eight points from second-placed Arsenal after beating Hull City 2-0.
Diego Costa had a bust up with Antonio Conte and it appeared that the striker might leave the club. But putting all the rumours aside, Conte decided to include the striker in the starting lineup and he paid back the faith by scoring the opening goal against Hull.
Cole said, “Already his team has got his [Conte’s] personality. They look strong.
“You can’t see anything else than Chelsea winning the league now
“The only thing that would make me a little bit nervous is if Costa picks up a long-term injury.
“Tottenham look like a good team this year, which is bad news.
“Harry Kane and Dele Alli would get into most teams around the world. Apart from that, I still think Chelsea are a good couple of gears ahead of them.

“I imagine most of his management skills are his emotional connection and how he speaks to people and to go to another country and do that must be so hard.”
