Mourinho doesnt expect Remy or Costa to be available for Sunday...

Can he be believed though? He burned me last season saying Terry was out for the season. He only missed one game iirc then!

Has anybody actually seen or read the quotes where he said Costa wouldnt be fit?

I'm after doing a search around and while several articles such as this one say 'Costa to Miss United Game' the only quotes are:

​“Loic has a muscular injury. I don’t know the dimension and I’m not worried. We don't cry on injuries. When a player is injured, play another one."

"It's our philosophy, we don't cry. We just think one injury means an opportunity for somebody else.

"We will prepare for the game [against Manchester United] Thursday, Friday, Saturday to try to be at our best possible level against an opponent which we respect very, very much."

The headlines seem to be based on the Chelsea tweet last night, but I've yet to see Jose say anything publicly. So do we base a decision on the interpretation/assumptions/mind games of the person doing the Chelsea Twitter??

Costa will certainly play. It's the entire reason for resting him against Palace and Maribor.

Mourinho was asked about Costa and said, "I don't talk about injured players"

And why he hasn't trained since last Thursday? Fair play to Mourinho if it's all a mind game

Well thats bollix for a start!!

Never done talking about them, look back at his quotes on Costa before the hat trick, or the infamous Terry/Cech lies last year!!

Not saying its a mind game or not, just that there are no clear mentions of Costa playing or not playing v Man Utd other than the one line tweet.

Has it been confirmed that he definitely isn't training? I still stick by my point that Mourinho put pressure on Spain to give Costa a two week break by not playing him. This didn't happen.

Mourinho, IMO, and I may be totally incorrect, is now giving Costa this two week break ahead of their tougher fixtures.

If someone knows how to create a poll I'd love to see this.

Do you think Costa will play v Man Utd? to gauge what the forum think

or

Will you be selling Diego Costa this GW?

I suspect this as well. Plus hes having a bit of fun while he's at it.

But its impossible to be sure.

I'll do it now. There's a good hot topic on FFS about this; I think it depends who your other forwards are and what your bench looks like.

Remy said: "We will see after I have a scan but I don't think it is too bad.

"I felt something in my groin. It's frustrating of course because I had a chance to play because Diego Costa is injured but I am not afraid. I really hope to play again this weekend."

And Mourinho said at the end of last month that Costa was doing 'almost nothing' in training due to his injury, yet he then played the full 90 against Arsenal and scored a goal.

And the full 90 against Everton and scored two when he was supposedly struggling!

Does it look like Angel Di Maria will face Chelski??

FHFC

By the way. Theo played 45mins for Arsenal u21 side on Friday last, trained with the CL squad yesterday and could be in line to feature against Sunderland this weekend.

I wonder is the Burnley game in GW10 too early to consider him FPL wise? 1.3 cheaper than Sanchez....

No direct quotes there. I'll still be holding him. I don't particularly mind if he misses out this weekend. Subs did fine for most people last week.

Sigurdsson's injury has me questioning my plans now. Can't seem to find any update yet on it, but hopefully there'll be some news later.

I think there was a post match interview with Siggy where he said he suffered the injury before the game and that it was planned that he would be withdrawn early. The fact that he started the game at all and had a large part to play in the two goals has got to be encouraging if so.

I think it was the BBC text commentary where I saw that.

Posted this on another thread:

Sigurdsson "I felt my groin before the game, so thats why I was coming off. We showed character to bounce back from the loss at Stoke #Swans

He still didn't get any minutes though. Assuming Siggy isn't badly injured, I'll still leave it another week to get Walcott in for Sterling.

Some of the papers today are saying Aguero could face action for his stamp yesterday. I think it would be harsh and I don't think it'll happen but I wont be making a transfer until I hear more on it.

Ivanovic serves his 1 game ban in the league cup so will be available for the next league game vs QPR.
