Atletico Madrid forward expects to return to the field by the end of 2020.

According to Spanish edition Marca, Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa returned to a full training process with the team after a three-week absence..

It is worth recalling that the striker was knocked out of action by the detected thrombosis of the veins of the right leg, but the speed of recovery of the football player, according to the words of the club's medical department, "

The start of the new season for Diego is one of the most unfortunate periods of his career: in early September, Costa tested positive for the coronavirus COVID-19, as a result of which he was absent from the team for two weeks, after which he was seriously injured just before the start of the group stage.

This led to the fact that the total time spent on the football field in the new season for the player was only 184 minutes in 5 matches. The forward scored only one goal during this period.

Costa's last match was Atletico's home game against Catalan Barcelona (1-0), in which he appeared as a substitute in the last 17 minutes of regular time.

Thus, Diego Costa can replenish his team's cage already in the next match of the 14th round of the Spanish La Liga, in which Atletico Madrid will host Elche at home..
