Chelsea goal scorer Marcos Alonso defended his absent teammate Diego Costa after the Blues' 3-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday.
Costa was not in the squad following reports of an argument with the Chelsea coaching staff over back pains the striker reported on Tuesday. But Alonso, who scored Chelsea's first two goals in Costa's absence, said all was well in the Chelsea camp.
"You guys made up the story," Alonso told the BBC after the game. "Diego wasn't feeling well because of his back. He's very happy and will have a great enough season at Chelsea.
