Chelsea striker Diego Costa has scored 4 times this season but was shown 3 yellow cards in 4 games so far, then the Spaniard is seriously risking to face a ban as a player can be booked no more than 5 times per-round.
When asked about the current Premier League suspension rule, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte claimed: “I am not worried about this, Diego is growing also in this situations and he showed great behaviours despite some situations had been very difficult for a player like him”.
Then Conte added: “He showed great attitude, he is a passionate man who puts this in the football when he plays. He needs to do it in the right way”.
“Anyway - the Italian manager confirmed - It’s very difficult to tell you players ‘pay attention because you are risking a ban’, I think that Diego knows this and is important to not take yellow card for other things, only for tackles”.
Then Chelsea would face Diego Costa’s suspension if he picked up additional two yellow cards in these months, but Conte is not worried about it: “We have Michy Batshuayi, who is training very hard and is waiting the right moment to show his qualities but there’s also Ruben Loftus-Cheek who can play in that position”.
