Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa will be missing from the side when it clashes with Leganes on Saturday

Atletico Madrid will be without Diego Godin, Koke and Diego Costa for its LaLiga clash with Leganes on Saturday.

The trio trained separately from the group due to muscular problems on Thursday and was deemed unfit for selection by Diego Simeone a day later.

However, centre-back Jose Gimenez was cleared for duty after sustaining a thigh injury in the 1-1 draw at Villarreal on October 20.

Atletico will temporarily return to the top of LaLiga if it secures a victory at Butarque, though Barcelona could displace the side later on Saturday when it travels to Rayo Vallecano.
