Atlético de Madrid striker Diego Costa injured

The Spanish-Brazilian forward Diego Costa, who was substituted in the 61st minute on Saturday in the draw against Girona (1-1), has suffered a thigh strain, the club announced on Sunday.

"Diego Costa underwent a nuclear magnetic resonance, after which he was diagnosed with an adductor muscle strain. His progress remains pending," said Atlético.

According to Spanish media, Costa will be out for about ten days, so he will miss the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals against Sevilla on Tuesday. Sevilla won the first leg 2-1.

Costa, 29, returned to Atlético in September after two seasons at Chelsea, but he did not make his debut until January due to a suspension from the Spanish club. Since then, he has scored three goals in five matches.
