John Terry: 'Chelsea missed Diego Costa'

Chelsea captain John Terry concedes that the Blues may have missed the talismanic qualities of Diego Costa in their Community Shield defeat to Arsenal.

John Terry has claimed that Chelsea missed the qualities of striker Diego Costa in Sunday's 1-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain struck on 24 minutes as the Gunners beat the Premier League champions to clinch the early bragging rights ahead of the 2015-16 campaign.

The Blues struggled in the final third at times as Loic Remy spearheaded the attack, with Costa sidelined with a hamstring injury.

"He's a top player so he's going to be missed in all sides," Terry, who skippered Chelsea at Wembley, told reporters.

"It was a chance for Loic [Remy] to stamp his authority in the side, and [Radamel] Falcao second half, it's down to them boys to fight for their place.

"[They are] three great strikers and they'll all be fighting."

Chelsea begin the defence of their league title by hosting Swansea City next Saturday.
