Diego Costa should be available for Atletico Madrid’s Champions League tie against his old club Chelsea after recovering from deep vein thrombosis.

The Spain striker was diagnosed with the nasty condition three weeks ago.

The condition involves a blood clot forming in a deep vein in the body, usually in a leg or the pelvis.

Costa, 32, had only just returned from a muscle injury when his latest ailment struck.

And he also suffered from Covid-19 during the summer, which is thought to have possibly affected his latest medical condition.

Costa is yet to feature in the Champions League this season, and has appeared just five times in LaLiga.
