TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Football Association (FA) has charged Diego Costa for violent conduct after an alleged stamp following the Capital One Cup semi-final with Liverpool on Tuesday, January 27.
The Chelsea striker faces a three-match ban for his challenge on defender Emre Can during the 1-0 victory, therefore possibly missing Saturday's league match with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
"It's his character. It's the way he plays. He's a handful for a defender,” said Chelsea defender Gary Cahill, defending Costa.
"Would you change him? Probably not, and I don't think you should. Certainly as a team-mate, he's somebody you want in your team."
Costa has proven to be a superb summer signing for Chelsea, as the striker has scored 17 goals in the Premier League. However, Costa’s playing data-style has cost him the title of rough striker, collecting so far 10 yellow cards this season.
