Chelsea News: Mourinho to deal with Costa problem, Cech to Liverpool, Hazard future JOSE MOURINHO says he has a plan to deal with the absence of suspended striker Diego Costa. Heres all the latest news coming out of Stamford Bridge. Diego Costa Jose Mourinho insists Chelsea have enough firepower to deal with the absence of star striker Diego Costa. Costa picked up his fifth booking of the season in yesterdays goalless draw with Sunderland and will now miss Wednesday nights London derby with Tottenham. But Mourinho is confident he has the men to fill void left by the 25-year-old. Well play (Loic) Remy or (Didier) Drogba. We dont cry about injured players or about suspended players, the Chelsea boss. If hes suspended, hes suspended. He can rest, he can be fresh against Newcastle and against Tottenham, Drogba and Remy will have their opportunity to start the game. No problem, lets go. Petr Cech Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants to bolster his goalkeeping ranks - and Chelsea stopper Petr Cech is on his wish list. Rodgers wants to add some real competition for the No.1 jersey at Anfield having been unimpressed by the performances of Simon Mignolet this term. And he has pinpointed Cech as one of his main January transfer targets. Cechs future at Chelsea has been the subject of huge speculation following the return of Thibaut Courtois at the club. The 32-year-old has been dislodged by Courtois as Mourinhos No.1 and could be allowed to leave Chelsea in the new year for around £7m. Eden Hazard Eden Hazard insists he will not let speculation over his Chelsea future distract him from firing the club to the Premier League title. The Belgium midfield star has been one of the standout performers in Chelseas stunning unbeaten start to the season. His form has attracted interest from European giants Real Madrid and PSG. But Hazard claims he is fully focussed on securing his maiden Premier League title and the Blues first since 2010. My focus is only on Chelsea and I want to be a champion this season. I think last season was very good [when they finished third] but in the end we lost one or two important games, he said.
