Suspension served
Costa is an option for the final two games of the season after being ineligible in Wednesday's loss to Getafe.
Analysis: Costa will aim to make an immediate return, having played a consistent role throughout the campaign. Despite being a nominal defensive midfielder, he has played on the right wing lately and has scored two goals while providing two assists over his last five starts, so he'll look to extend his momentum in the final couple of games. He'll challenge Manu Morlanes and Jan Virgili for playing time going forward.
Will miss Getafe game
Costa will miss the upcoming trip to Getafe after picking up a yellow card in the 71st minute of Sunday's match against Villarreal, reaching the accumulation limit.
Analysis: Costa had been one of Mallorca's most active players against Villarreal, contributing to the press, making runs into the box and attempting several shots on goal before the booking ended his afternoon. His absence is a notable blow for coach Martin Demichelis, who will need to reshuffle the midfield for the Getafe fixture. Antonio Sanchez is expected to be among the candidates to reclaim a starting role in the middle of the park in his absence.
