Spanish outlet Marca report that Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is already deemed fit enough to play despite it being 52 days left until he can officially register his return to the Colchoneros.

A lot of questions have been raised regarding the fitness of the former Chelsea striker, especially after the player himself this past summer stated that "I have spent a month only joking around, drinking and eating." However, since returning back to Atletico to prepare for his January move, he has been working hard to be fit when called upon by coach Diego Simeone which has seen him lose more than 6 kilo's according to Marca.

"I am not afraid of the scale but of the coach's training sessions" Costa said upon his return on September 22nd and it seems that Simeone's training regime has paid off as the Spanish international striker is ready for action almost 2 months before he can ba called upon.
