Chelsea striker Diego Costa could face a spell out with a bruised tibia

Diego Costa suffered a bruised tibia in Saturday's draw with Everton, but it remains to be seen how much time the Chelsea striker might miss.
Costa was sent for a scan on the shin after leaving the field at Stamford Bridge and Press Association Sport understands the results show no fracture and just bruising.

But it is too soon to say whether Costa, who was injured when challenging Leighton Baines in the second half, will be able to feature in Sunday's Premier League clash at Arsenal.

The 27-year-old Brazil-born Spain international reported for treatment at Chelsea's Surrey training base on Sunday, despite the squad being given two days' off by interim boss Guus Hiddink.
Costa scored Chelsea's first as the Blues came back from 2-0 down to level at 2-2, with John Terry's controversial last-gasp goal in stoppage time giving them a point from a 3-3 draw.
