Diego Costa has 'a little chance' of playing Sunday vs. Manchester United
While there are still no guarantees that Diego Costa takes the pitch against Manchester United this weekend, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho provided a positive update regarding his star striker's injury status.
Jose reports Diego Costa has a 'little chance' of playing, as do Ramires and Mikel. Loic Remy is out. #CFC

Costa was reportedly ruled out of the fixture on Thursday as he continues to recover from a groin problem that is separate from the nagging hamstring issues he's faced this season as well as the virus he suffered earlier this week.
With Loic Remy out for Sunday's clash due to a groin injury and Andre Schurrle dealing with an illness, the return of Costa would go a long way in helping Chelsea break down United's often-vulnerable backline.
