Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that Diego Costa should consider himself 'privileged' to have been included in the team for all the Premier League matches after he was eventually dropped during his side's goalless draw against Tottenham.
The 27-year-old, who scored only one goal in last eight matches, expressed his frustration at being dropped by tossing his substitute's bib in the direction of the manager.
Reflecting views on the same, Mourinho said there is no problem between him and Costa, adding that he has a good relation with the striker, the Guardian reported.
He further said that dropping Costa would have helped him to know how team wants him to perform.
Describing Costa as a 'positive' player, Mourinho said that the former is physically fit and working well.
