The full extent of the Spain forward's injury is not yet known, with some British media reports claiming he could face up to six weeks out.

Costa, who arrived at Stamford Bridge in a 32 million pounds ($53.04 million) move from Atletico Madrid, scored in Chelsea's league wins over Burnley and Leicester to start the season and any absence would be a big blow for Jose Mourinho's side.

Costa suffered a hamstring injury with Atletico at the end of the previous season that forced him to limp out of the Champions League final against Real Madrid after nine minutes and hampered his World Cup campaign with Spain.
