Chelsea's Zorro team: The Blues' bad luck with facial injuries

Diego Costa, with a broken nose sustained in training, will join a long list of Chelsea players who have had to play in masks after suffering facial injuries.

César Azpilicueta, Nemanja Matic, Gary Cahill, Cesc Fàbregas, Demba Ba, Ramires, Fernando Torres, Paulo Ferreira, Peter Cech and John Terry are the others who have fallen foul of the same fate.

Costa is set to face Newcastle United on Saturday and will be wearing a specially made mask which he traveled to Milan on Friday to get fitted. 

Manager Guus Hiddink ironically compared his team with Zorro. He said: "[Costa] will return, he will have a mask on. We are a team of a lot of masks - we're a Zorro team."
