Hiddink: Oscar, Diego Costa clash ‘2 bulls chesting a bit’

There were claims that the pair even exchanged blows at Chelsea‘s Cobham training ground yesterday (Thursday), but an eyewitness insisted Oscar and Costa were dragged apart -before the incident went that far.

“He got Diego and they stumbled over the ground and then they chested a bit”.

The naturalized Spanish striker did not take kindly to Oscar’s infringement, responding moments later with a tackle that scythed down the Brazilian. It was an intense and sharp training session and these things happen.

It is the latest controversial incident involving the Spanish worldwide since he moved to the Premier League.

“We are unbeaten four times in a row, it wasn’t done in the past (earlier on in the season) but it must be standard for a club like Chelsea”.

Chelsea captain John Terry is still mentally and physically fresh for top-level football, according to interim manager Guus Hiddink. “I go home on May 29, at the end of this, I will stop”.

“I think so, if you look at their run now and the way they are playing”, he said.

Chelsea have been dogged by rumours of in fighting and poor team spirit all season, with the defending champions now sitting at 14 in the table after 20 games.

“I am a bit anxious about this situation”, Hiddink said.

Interim Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink wants his side to continue their improvement in form against League One Scunthorpe in the FA Cup third round and avoid the possibility of a humiliating exit.

The Blues suffered one of the biggest upsets in the competition’s 145-year history last year when League One Bradford City beat the Premier League leaders 4-2 in the fourth round at Stamford Bridge, having trailed 2-0 after 40 minutes.

Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim has played down reports that Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao has returned to the French side following the termination of his loan spell.
