Why?"They're old enough to make their own minds up. If they don't want to play for the football club any more, so what? "My job on a Saturday afternoon - and a Tuesday/Wednesday night - was to go out and try to win the game with my team-mates."Whoever I'm playing with - doesn't matter who it is. I don't care as long as we win the game." Chelsea did not appear to miss Costa too much against Leicester, but the Spain international has netted 14 Premier League goals this season and been a key figure in their title bid. The Blues are next in action on January 22 when they welcome Hull City to Stamford Bridge, with plenty of focus likely to be placed on the team sheet for that fixture.</blockquote>
