Speaking in his press conference ahead of Hull's visit,Conte said

''Yes, he’s available for the game against Hull.'He started training on Tuesday with the team and he trained very well. He doesn’t have the pain in his back so for this reason he’s available for the game.

Conte continued ,

'On Sunday and Monday Diego was training so he could work with the team on Tuesday. He trained with a fitness coach, not alone. It’s important to know this. He started training very well to come back on Tuesday. 

'He did that to prepare his body to have a good session on Tuesday'.

Conte refused to state whether Costa would play from the start or not and insisted doing so would give the opposite number some advantage.

"We'll see. I don't want to give an advantage to our opponent".

Welcome Back Diego! 

Will he score against Hull City?
