Diego Simeone hoping for Diego Costa involvement

By , Football Editor
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone hopes that Diego Costa will be fit for next week's La Liga title decider against Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is hopeful that leading scorer Diego Costa will be fit for next week's La Liga title decider against Barcelona.

The Brazilian-born Spanish international missed his side's 1-1 draw with Malaga on Sunday due to a troublesome groin injury.

However, the powerful forward is expected to be fit for the clash at the Camp Nou on Saturday.

"He's progressing well. We'll see how he is for the match," Simeone told reporters at a press conference.

Costa has scored 36 times in 50 games this season.
