Diego Costa doubtful for Barcelona clash .
Diego Costa is set to
miss the first leg of Atletico Madrid's Champions
League tie against Barcelona after
leaving training early on Monday.
Costa has scored 32 goals in all
competitions for Atletico this season - including six in the club's past five
matches.
According to Goal.com, Atletico coach, Diego Simeone, has conceded it will be "difficult" for Costa to play on Tuesday after the Brazil-born striker completed just 10 minutes of training before limping off the pitch.
"The doctors will assess his fitness, but I can't see him playing," Simeone was quoted as saying.
"Having seen him at training I think it is going to be difficult for him to make it, but we will wait as there's still a long while to go yet."
A final decision on Costa's availability is expected to be made in the final hours before kick-off.
