Europa League: Diego Costa Included In The Atletico Madrid's Squad To Face Arsenal

Atletico Madrid striker, Diego Costa, has been included in the travelling squad for Thursday’s Europa League semi-final first leg at Arsenal.

Costa was not expected to feature, as he is believed to be nursing a hamstring problem.

The former Chelsea player, has not played since limping out of Atletico’s Europa League quarterfinal with Sporting Lisbon on April 12.

Last weekend, manager Diego Simeone said that the aim was to get the 29-year-old fit for the second leg against Arsenal in Madrid on May 3.

However, on Tuesday evening, Atletico named him in their travelling squad for the game, with the list also confirming that other injured players Juanfran Torres and Filipe Luis were remaining behind in the Spanish capital.

Youngsters Alex Dos Santos [goalkeeper], Sergi [left-back] and Roberto Olabe [midfielder] also make the trip to London.
