There are some players who are simply irreplaceable and Leo Costa happens to be one of them for Mumbai City FC. The midfielder ensures stability and composure in the middle of the park. He makes the players around him look good.

Which is why it was devastating to watch him limp off inside the first twenty minutes of the match. The Brazilian suffered a hamstring injury and was immediately taken off. Usually, it takes at least 1-2 weeks before a player recovers from this kind of injury.

There were concerns about his hamstring in the lead up to the tournament. He was probably rushed back in and unfortunately paid the price for doing so.
