Diego Costa Ruled Out For Three Months

By Daily Sports on November 15, 2019

Diego Costa has been diagnosed with a cervical disc herniation in a fresh blow to goal-shy Atletico Madrid.

Scans undertaken in recent days identified the issue, which relates to the spine, but a rehabilitation programme has not yet been formulated.

Atletico said the 31-year-old requires special neurosurgery assessment before the full scale of the injury can be established.

“The medical services of the club have conducted radiological tests of Diego Costa to assess the cervical discomfort suffered in recent days,” read an Atletico statement.

“These tests have determined that the forward suffers a cervical disc herniation.

“In the next few days he will be evaluated by specialists in neurosurgery to establish the definitive treatment.”

While Atleti have been reticent to put a timescale on the Spain international’s recovery from the injury, reports suggest that he could be sidelined for at least three months, while if the injury proves to be of the more serious variety, it could be April before he is seen on the field again.

Former Chelsea striker Costa trained earlier this week after appearing for the final 10 minutes of Atletico’s 3-1 win over Espanyol on Sunday. (SuperSport)
