Costa (knee) is set to undergo surgery after suffering an ACL injury in Saturday's friendly against the U21 of FC Bale, the club announced.

Costa suffered an ACL injury on Saturday during Villarreal's first friendly against FC Bale and is set to undergo surgery in the coming days. The defender now faces a lengthy recovery process, with the timeline for ACL injuries generally up to a year, depending how recovery goes. He started 28 matches last season and will need to be replaced on the back line with newcomer Rafa Marin likely stepping into bigger minutes, as well as Willy Kambwala alongside Juan Foyth.
