Costa leaving?

-

Football: Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte will continue to prioritise a winning team over the happiness of individual­s, including Diego Costa and captain John Terry. Conte yesterday spoke of optimism that Costa will stay at Chelsea, but insisted the striker’s future will be addressed at the end of the season. Another possible summer departure after more than 18 years in the Chelsea first team is Terry, who is expected to feature in the FA Cup at Wolves today. ‘‘The most important thing, the target, is to win, not to try to have 21 players happy,’’ Conte said. ‘‘I want to be happy, but I’m happy if we win. Not if we lose and have 21 players happy.’’
