'Beast' Diego Costa Is Compatible with Alvaro Morata, Says Diego Simeone

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is happy to have Diego Costa back among his selection ahead of Saturday's visit to Rayo Vallecano and says the fit-again frontman is compatible with Spain team-mate Alvaro Morata.

The pair are yet to play together since Morata only joined on loan from Chelsea in January, while Costa has been sidelined following foot surgery in early December.

However, the 30-year-old could make his return from a two-month injury against Madrid rivals Rayo, and Simeone told a press conference Friday: "Costa is a beast, he's raring to go, he's ambitious and as everyone knows, he's a warrior.
