BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Diego Costa isn’t letting an uncertain future damage his current performances for Spain.
The Chelsea striker scored what proved to be Spain’s winner to secure a 2-1 victory at Macedonia on Sunday that kept it top of its 2018 World Cup qualifying group.
The goal came after Costa said Wednesday – following Spain’s home friendly against Colombia – that Chelsea coach Antonio Conte had told him via text message that he didn’t want him on his team next season.
Four days later, Diego Costa was still wondering what club would be his next home.
“The truth is I still don’t know. I have two more years on my contract with Chelsea,” he told Spanish national television from Skopje. “They have to know what they will do with me. I am still waiting for the club’s decision.”
