A report in The Sun on Wednesday claimed Chelsea fined Diego Costa £185,000 before he was allowed to return to first-team training.

According to a report by Sky Sports, Diego Costa wasn’t fined by Chelsea and the striker is in line to make his Chelsea return against Hull City on Sunday.

A source at Chelsea told Sky Sports: “We don’t fine players when they injure their backs.”

Costa reportedly held an hour-long meeting with authorities at Chelsea before rejoining first-team squad for training.
