The Spain striker was withdrawn before half-time and later treated in hospital after the Blues' match in the Potteries, increasing the pressure on the Stamford Bridge boss
Chelsea striker Diego Costa was forced off with injury in the first-half of Chelsea's League Cup fixture with Stoke City on Tuesday night, adding to the problems of beleaguered boss Jose Mourinho.
The Spain international had started brightly, testing the home side's defence, but went down holding the side of his chest in the opening thirty minutes.
After lengthy treatment, Costa opted to continue before being forced off as he again broke down minutes later.
The Chelsea striker left the field with a pained expression as Loic Remy was summoned from the bench.
And Mourinho later confirmed that Costa had been sent to hospital for further treatment on a rib injury.
