Costa in doubt for Chelsea clash

Eight days. It's the deadline Diego Costa has to meet. The Spanish striker has not been ruled out for the clash between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea in the Champions League, but he is facing a tough mission.

Atletico Madrid won the duel with Getafe and managed to retain La Liga lead, but the costs were too high, Atletico fans said. The teams best striker, Diego Costa scored late in the 84th minute after sliding on the pitch. He could not stop in time and collided with the post. His left tibia struck the metal post opening a gash in his leg with blood pouring out.

Diego Costa was stretchered out. Atletico Madrid still hasn't confirm the level of his injury. However, Atletico's coach has not ruled out Costa for the UEFA Champions League clash with Chelsea. The first leg is set on the 22nd of April in Madrid, but the Spanish striker has only eight days to recover and be ready to play.
