Diego Costa has been spotted playing five-a-side with friends in Brazil as his Chelsea absence continues.
The striker, who is currently staying away from Stamford Bridge in a bid to force through a transfer to former club Atletico Madrid, was captured on video in his hometown of Lagarto playing with friends.
Costa is seen scoring a couple of goals and going on a mazy run in the video before offering one of his team-mates a bit of advice.
The 28-year-old has pleaded with Chelsea to lower their asking price for him so he can return to Atleti and has also accused the club of treating him "like a criminal" - a claim laughed off by Antonio Conte.
He has also taken to Instagram recently to prove his fitness while wearing Chelsea shorts.
Costa joined Chelsea in a £32m deal in 2014 and has won two Premier League titles and a League Cup during his time in London.
Watch the above video to see Diego Costa playing five-a-side with his friends in Brazil.
