Atletico Madrid Striker Diego Costa Fit to Face Eibar After Recovering From Thigh Injury

Atletico Madrid are preparing for their home fixture against Eibar on Sunday evening, buoyed by the return of talismanic striker Diego Costa.

The former Chelsea forward picked up a thigh muscle injury during a friendly against Juventus in at the beginning of August, and it was reported that the Spain international may miss more than a month of football.

Costa has been absent for his side's opening two league fixtures, but is set to make a remarkable comeback for los Rojiblancos' next fixture.

On Saturday evening, Atletico Madrid tweeted that Costa has recovered from his muscle injury in the adductors of the left thigh, and is no longer under observation by the Atleti medical team.
