Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has disclosed that striker Diego Costa is a serious doubt for Thursday’s UEFA Europa League (UEL) semifinal clash with English giants Arsenal.

The Argentine tactician was speaking during his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s Spanish La Liga game with Real Betis.

Simeone also stressed the importance of finishing behind league leaders Barcelona who have all but wrapped up the title.

On Diego Costa, Simeone said: He has few chances to play on Thursday.”
