Former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich thinks that Diego Costa is likely to leave the Blues in the near future after he was seen throwing his bib at manager Jose Mourinho.
Costa was left out of the Chelsea team to face Tottenham in the 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane and subsequently refused to take part in the warm up before throwing his training bib at the manager.
Mourinho said publically that he understands why the Spaniard was upset, but privately, one would expect him to take action against the striker.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Bosnich said that the incident makes him think that the 27-year-old will soon be shown the door at Stamford Bridge.
It didn’t look good. Generally when you are with a manager and you do that type of thing, it’s the beginning of the end. Not going out for the warm-up, I can understand that completely, but throwing the bib at the manager during the game points to one way.
The Australian went on to say that he doesn’t expect Costa to be sold immediately in January, but that he wouldn’t be shocked if he was allowed to leave in the summer.
They probably won’t do it immediately but I really do think it’s the beginning of the end, which is unfortunate because he has been a smash hit since he has been at Chelsea.
It came as little surprise that Costa was dropped from the game. After being prolific last season, he’s found the back of the net just four times in all competitions in the current campaign.
