Branislav Ivanovic, Chelsea's captain in the injury-enforced absence of John Terry, believes Diego Costa will react to his omission from the team in the 0-0 draw with Spurs in a positive way.
Costa remained on the bench for the duration of the Barclays Premier League showdown at White Hart Lane and in the final moments tossed his substitutes' bib over his shoulder in the direction of Jose Mourinho.
"I expect Diego to come back strongly. We start the season as a team and we have to finish as a team," Ivanovic said.
"Sometimes for a player who isn't playing it's difficult but it is a normal situation for the club.
"This is important. When we start losing we all know it's not about the one or two players playing badly or playing well - it's about the team.
"Diego didn't play against Tottenham but he'll be ready for the next game.
"He scored against Norwich - the winning goal. It's all about the team. We all have to think about that."
