Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone, has admitted that Diego Costa is unlikely to be fit for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Arsenal on Thursday.
Costa injured his left hamstring in the second leg of the quarter-finals against Sporting Lisbon and came off in the 52nd minute.
“Surely the doctors are making the decision, but I think that he has few options of playing on Thursday,” Simeone told reporters at a news conference on Saturday.
“He will be there for the return leg, but I do not believe that he has a chance for the first.”
Costa has scored six goals in 16 appearances in all competitions since joining Atletico in January.
The return match is scheduled for May 3 in Madrid.
