Lisbon worries for Injury-hit Costa, Peep
Atletico Madrid's top scorer Diego Costa looks set to miss his side's crucial La Liga match against Malaga on Sunday due to a hamstring injury.
Depending on the extent of the injury, the 25-year-old could also be a doubt for Atletico's trip to Barcelona
on the final day of the La Liga season and the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid on 24 May.
"Diego Costa has undergone some scans to determine the extent of a grade one injury in his right hamstring,"
the club said in a statement on their website on Friday. "The striker did not train with his teammates in a session on Friday morning."
Atletico need four points or two draws from their final two league games to seal the La Liga title for the first time in 18 years.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid defender Pepe has been diagnosed with a calf injury that could rule him out of the Champions League final.
The Portuguese international suffered the injury as Real's La Liga title hopes were all but ended in a 1-1 draw away to Valladolid on Wednesday.
Madrid said on Friday that tests have confirmed the 31-year-old has a grade one injury in his left calf without estimating how long he may be out of action. However, Spanish media reported that the centre-back
will be out for at least two weeks meaning he will miss Real's final two league games against Celta Vigo and Espanyol and putting his participation in the Champions League final at risk.

Pepe a doubt for champions league final
May 9, 2014 11:35:50 AM
The Portuguese defender is struggling with a calf problem and initial reports suggest that he could be ruled out of action for a fortnight
Real Madrid defender Pepe's participation in this month's Champions League final clash with Atletico Madrid has been thrown into doubt due to injury.
The Portugal international played all 90 minutes of Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Liga rivals Real Valladolid on Wednesday but tests on Friday revealed that he picked up a calf problem during the game at the Jose Zorrilla.
"After scans and image tests on Friday in the Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja, the player Pepe was been diagnosed with a grade one muscle injury in his left calf," a club statement read.
Madrid are yet to reveal the full extent of the damage, but initial reports claim that he will be sidelined for about two weeks, which would leave his participation in the May 24 meeting with Atleti in Lisbon in doubt.
Cristiano Ronaldo also limped off during the game at Valladolid, but Carlo Ancelotti was quick to emphasise that his injury was "not serious".
