Chelsea striker Diego Costa suffered an injury scare during a training session with Spain.

Costa was forced out of the session with a leg and ankle injury and underwent X-rays at the Sanitas Clinic in La Moraleja, but was given the all-clear, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said.

The striker is still under observation and will remain with the Spain squad, who face France in a friendly on Tuesday.

RFEF said Chelsea had been informed of Costa’s condition.

Chelsea are already sweating on the fitness of Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard ahead of the weekend’s clash with Crystal Palace.
