Diego Costa’s participation against Chelsea in the Champions League was hanging in the balance after he was stretchered off with a horror injury in last night’s victory over Getafe – but thankfully for Atletico Madrid, his manager has cleared him to face the Blues.
The hitman, who earlier missed a penalty after some unorthodox supporter tactics, eventually scored by sliding in a cross late on, but clattered into the post on the follow through.
Costa was left with a deep gash on his leg and had to be carried off the field, but manager Diego Simeone insists there’s no keeping his ‘tiger’ down.
‘Costa is fine, he is happy,’ said Simeone after the match. ‘He made a great effort throughout. One more cut does not do anything to this tiger.’
Press officer Jose Luis Pasques wrote on Twitter: ‘Relax everyone. It’s all OK. Just need to fix the post.’
