David Costas Injury: Dealing with muscular strain

Costas is dealing with a muscular strain and is unlikely to be available for Saturday's game against Real Betis, according to Nacho Azparren Menendez of Diario AS.

Costas has been training away from the rest of the group despite going the full 90 in the draw against Alaves. As things stand, he faces a steep challenge to be available for the match against Real Betis on Saturday. That means David Carmo, who's set to return from his AFCON duties, is likely to start at center-back.
