Costa inclusion, a punishment?

Following the inclusion of the controversial Chelsea striker, Diego Costa to the 30 man squad to represent the English champions in the 2017 /2018 season sparks soccer fans in the world.
Costa, the Spanish Brazilian who has been on exile following his fall out with the Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte, has continued to air his opinion on the way he was treated at the Bridge and wanted a transfer back to Atletico Madrid.
Costa never hid his opinion on how desperate he would like to return to the Spanish capital and align with his former team, but trying too hard to force his way out and not minding his contract terms with his current employer, CFC.
Atletico Madrid has been banned by FIFA from signing player until January before they can do any addition and that makes Costa situation dicey. Costa has refused to honour his contract by returning to the club for training instead he has hung out somewhere in his native town in Brazil.
The Chelsea board made effort to call him back to come and use the club training facilities to keep him fit but rather he stayed away. He has been claiming to be the innocent victim through his consistent media approach but never speaks of his own actions.
Chelsea submitted a 30 man list to represent them in the Premier League and Costa is included. Now I think Chelsea refused to grant Costa's wish by allowing him to link up with Diego Simone`s Atletico.
Chelsea may not be ready to play him (Costa) in the league but just to show him who is who. His inclusion might just mean to add numbers except if he is ready to apologise and settle a score with the Blues hierarchy.
Costa wanted to do this on his own by not submitting to his employers but his inclusion now into the squad might mean to punish him and deprive him of going to his preferred destinations so far he is under contract.
Your opinion my blue family.
