Farai Dziva|Atletico Madrid’s confidence has been boosted massively ahead of their blockbuster Champions League clash with defending champions Liverpool tonight following the return to fitness of star striker Diego Costa.

The 31-year-old Spaniard returns for Diego Simione’s men 95 days after limping off with a slipped disc injury.

Atletico face a daunting task to eliminate a Liverpool side which has been firing from all cylinders in the Premier League but the return of Costa will add the much-needed attacking impetus.
