Chelsea striker Diego Costa pictured training in isolation after bust-up with manager Antonio Conte

Chelsea striker Diego Costa appeared to be training in isolation at their Cobham training ground on Monday morning as the fallout from his blazing row with Antonio Conte continued.

The Brazilian striker was accompanied by just one Chelsea coach, retrieved his own balls and even moved the free-kick apparatus by himself as he practiced without his team-mates in heavy rain for an hour.

It is the first time Costa has been pictured training at Cobham since he was dropped from the squad for the weekend's 3-0 victory over Leicester City.
