Diego Costa did not come with the Atlético-MG delegation that landed early this Tuesday in Curitiba, where the team decides this Wednesday the Copa do Brasil against Athletico-PR. The first leg, at Mineirão, ended with a 4-0 rout by Galo. The forward continues in Belo Horizonte, treating a problem in his thigh. There is a possibility that he will appear in the group until Wednesday, but with little chance of being released to play.

The player, who has an undefined future at the club, left the last game against Hurricane with a thigh problem. Coach Cuca should choose Eduardo Vargas to form the attack with Keno and Hulk. The Chilean replaced Diego Costa in the first half of the match against Athletico-PR and also scored two goals in the rout. Another option is Nacho Fernández.
