Lemar likely to start for Atletico Madrid against Leganes with Costa still recovering LaLiga Simeone's side play on Sunday

Diego Costa didn't train with the rest of the Atletico Madrid players and Thomas Lemar will most likely be in the starting line-up against Leganes on Sunday.

The Spain international is still recovering from a thigh injury and is not expected to start Los Rojiblancos' upcoming game.

Alvaro Morata also trained individually, but Diego Simeone will use him upfront along with Joao Felix.

The Argentine tried out Felipe Monteiro and Jose Maria Gimenez at centre-back, with Mario Hermoso replacing Renan Lodi on the left, who is suspended due to his red card against Getafe, and Kieran Trippier on the right.

Koke, Marcos Llorente and Saul Niguez formed Atletico's midfield alongside Lemar in the team's fourth training session this week.
