Unlucky Diego Costa is still important despite lack of goals, insists Conte

The Blues boss thinks that his striker contributes even when he doesn't score and thinks that he won't be fazed by a temporary lack of goals

Diego Costa hasn't scored in his last four games for Chelsea but Antonio Conte believes that his number one striker is still contributing and that he will be back amongst the goals.

Goal revealed that Costa's form has dipped since he received an offer from Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian in January, but the 28-year-old has remained integral to Conte's plans and he has started in almost every league game.
