Cerezo To Costa - You Have A Little Chance Of Returning To Atletico Madrid

Struggling Chelsea striker Diego Costa made it known recently that a move back to Atletico is possible. Cerezo has responded to Costa saying the chances of a return is low.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo appears to have ruled out the possibility of Diego Costa returning to the club in January.

Costa, who was recently dropped from the Chelsea starting XI against Tottenham and has struggled for goals so far this season, suggested he was open to a possible move back to Madrid in future, citing former Blues and Atleti team-mate Filipe Luis as an example of a player following the same route.

Thibaut Courtois Will Only Play If We Agree With Chelsea Says Atletico Madrid President

It remains unclear whether the goalkeeper will feature for the Vicente Calderon side in the Champions League semi-finals

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo says Thibaut Courtois could still miss the Champions League semi-final tie against Chelsea. The Belgium international seemed destined to sit out the clash with his parent club due to a clause in his loan deal stating that Atletico would have to pay Chelsea up to €6 million if they were paired together.

However, Uefa ruled last week that such an agreement was invalid in European competition, but Cerezo remains cautious over Courtois' participation.
