In an interview, Jose Mourinho said,
“I don’t know if Costa will be fit (for the opening day of the league season).”
“We thought he could be ready, but suddenly this morning he was not comfortable.”
“Two days ago he was ready to play. When I told you two days ago he was ready to play he was ready to play. He trained normally on Friday and yesterday at the end of the training session he said he was not feeling good.”
“But Falcao will have had a bit more football, he will play against Fiorentina from the start. We have Remy too, so if we don’t have Diego I am happy with the strikers I have.”
