[Sports] - Diego Costa, Gary Cahill Doubts For Arsenal Clash


Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that Chelsea duo Gary Cahill and Diego Costa are doubts for the Community Shield finale against Arsenal on Sunday.

Chelsea ended their pre-season tour with a victory against current European Champs FC Barcelona needing a penalty hoot-out to decide the winner after a 2-2 game.The game was however taunted by injuries to both Chelsea players.

Eden Hazard opened the scoring with a dazzling run past three Barcelona players before placing the ball into the net. Luis Suarez however equalised eight minutes after the break and Sandro Ramirez doubled the score in the 66th minute. The game looked to be all but won before Gary Cahill came up with header to level things up late into the game to take the game into penalty shoot-outs. 
In the penalty shoot-out, Chelsea goalie Thibaut Courtois saved two leaving Loic Remy a chance to grab the winner for the Blues which he did in style.

Gary Cahill was forced into a substitution in the 85th minute after a suspected broken nose after scoring the equaliser and Diego Costa was also taken off with a suspected hamstring injury.



The injuries mean the two might not be able to feature against Arsenal on Sunday. But let's hope they recover ASAP.
