Diego Costa has dropped out of Atlético for tonight's game against Lokomotiv. The forward, as reported by Atlético, “He suffers a spontaneous deep vein thrombosis in his right leg. It is not related to trauma or previous injury and is pending evolution”. The Hispanic-Brazilian does not enter the list and, for now, it is difficult to estimate his period of withdrawal. Costa tested positive for coronavirus in September and this may be a consequence. The forward ended yesterday's training with discomfort. To date, Costa has played a total of 185 minutes where he has scored one goal. In this way, Diego will not be able to claim himself because he has not seen the door with Atlético in the continental competition for more than two years.
Costa tested positive for COVID last September. According to Doctor González, the coronavirus could have influenced this new mishap. “It can be a sequel to COVID, it implies that they have to give him a treatment with Eparin and probably more than 6 months with treatment. The medical leave will depend on the evolution. In principle, if you have inflammation of the whole leg, at least a month, and from then on everything you want. If you do not rest, the risk is that the thrombus will break off and go to the lung. You have to be careful, rest and treat, “says the doctor to As. The rest of the list is presented with no other big news. German Valera enter like Ricard Y Camel. All three are waiting for a shot at continental competition. Simeone will try to go with everything to a key game where Atleti wants to hit the table.
