Diego Costa Escapes Serious Injury in Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 Win Over Getafe
Diego Costa was given a fright in Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Getafe on Sunday, but fortunately, the striker avoided a serious injury. Costa, who was making his return from injury, nearly added to his concerns when he collided with the post after scoring his 26th goal of the season.
The Brazilian-born forward had earlier missed a penalty but recovered to score, putting his team ahead. However, in the process of celebrating, he hit the post, resulting in a deep cut to his left shin.
Despite early fears of a fracture, Atletico Madrid later reassured fans via Twitter, confirming that Costa had suffered only a cut and not a serious injury, quelling rumors of a potentially lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Costa’s goal helped Atletico extend their lead in La Liga, as they continue to battle for the title.
