Paris - Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho confirmed Diego Costa will return to the starting line-up in Tuesday's Champions League last 16, first leg against Paris Saint-Germain in the French capital despite not being in "the best condition."
The Brazil-born Spain striker has not played since the League Cup semi-final, second leg against Liverpool on January 27, when he picked up a three-match suspension for a stamp on Emre Can.
Didier Drogba and Loic Remy have filled in for Costa in the meantime, but the scorer of 17 goals in the Premier League this season will lead the line at the Parc des Princes.
