MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid top scorer Diego Costa was back in training with his team mates on Thursday and looks likely to be fit for Saturday's La Liga showdown at Barcelona.

The Brazil-born Spain forward, who has 27 goals in La Liga and eight in the Champions League this term, missed Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to Malaga with a leg muscle strain.
