Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has played down the significance of losing talisman Diego Costa to suspension for Wednesday's visit of Tottenham Hotspur.
The 11-goal striker picked up his fifth booking of the season in tonight's 0-0 draw at Sunderland and will subsequently miss the midweek clash at Stamford Bridge.
However, Loic Remy and Didier Drogba have struck six goals between them this season, and Mourinho says that one of them will fill the void.
"We don't cry about injured or suspended players. If he is suspended, he is suspended. We have Drogba and Remy," the Portuguese told reporters.
"We are top of the league and we have another match on Wednesday."
The Blues sit top of the Premier League table, seven points clear of second-placed Southampton and nine ahead of champions Manchester City in third.
