Diego Costa is unlikely to return to the Chelsea lineup before the end of April.
Costa has been battling a persistent hamstring injury.
José Mourinho expects Costa to play in Chelsea's final four matches.
"We have eight matches to play," he said. "If he plays four, it's normal. If he plays three, it's a little below what I am expecting. If he plays five it is more than what I am expecting, so I am thinking about four matches."
