David Costas Injury: Won't play against Elche

Costas suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's game against Getafe but avoided a tear and will miss Sunday's clash against Elche as a precaution, according to La Voz De Asturias.

Costas will miss Sunday's clash against Elche as a precaution following the hamstring injury he suffered against Getafe on Saturday. The center-back underwent scans that revealed no tear, which is good news for Oviedo since he will be back with the team soon. That said, Costas is an undisputed starter in the backline, therefore his absence will need to be covered on Sunday, with David Carmo expected to take his place in central defense for that game.
