Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are both fit and available for Chelsea's away match against Middlesbrough on Sunday. 

Costa withdrew from the Spain squad during the international break with a groin complaint and Hazard, who was on Friday confirmed as the EA Sports Player of the Month winner for October, picked up a knock while playing for Belgium.

But the Blues duo have joined Cesc Fabregas in returning to full fitness in the lead up to Matchweek 12. 

"The news is that I have all of the players available," Antonio Conte, who scooped the Barclays Manager of the Month award for October, told chelseafc.com.

"Costa had a bit of an injury after the Everton game, he started to train with us on Wednesday and his physical condition is good. We still have tomorrow to look at the situation tactically but at the moment he can play. Eden also recovered very well."
