The Madrid team "Atletico" may have to do without their striker Diego Costa for a long time. The Spanish club announced on Thursday that the 31-year-old striker will not play at least until New Year's due to a neck injury, but if surgery is needed, the player's return can only be expected in about three months.
It is reported that D. Costa has been experiencing pain in his neck and back in recent days, and after the tests performed, the striker was referred to neurosurgeons, who will decide whether surgery is necessary.
D. Costa managed to play 15 matches for "Atletico" this season, scoring 3 goals and making 2 assists.
