Diego Costa might miss Champions League at a crucial stage
Atletico Madrid's Spanish striker Diego Costa has suffered a serious injury.
has not played for at least three weeks due to a muscle strain and will probably not play until after the next international break.
Diego Simeone had a fruitful weekend in which Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla, the other main challengers for the Liga title this season, all lost three points on Saturday. Atlético won 2-0 against Celta with goals from Luis Suárez and Yannick Carrasco. They were ahead of the opponent until the 70th minute with a single goal by
Luis Suarezin the first minutes. But it was in the early minutes of the second half that Costa hurt and was eventually replaced in the 50th minute by young Portuguese striker Zhao Felix. Diego Costa was in so much pain that she seemed to leave the field with tears.
It was an exceptional field to meet two strikers, Costa and Suárez, together as the front pair after long time which might not be reachable again. Costa probably will miss Atlético’s next six games at a crucial stage of the early season.
