AFC Champions League: Talay Gives Costa Injury News

Bangkok United manager Mano Polking has provided an update on the injury status of star striker William "Bill" Costa, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. Costa sustained the injury during Bangkok United's Thai League 1 match against Port FC on August 19th, and his absence has been a major blow to the club's hopes of a successful AFC Champions League campaign.

Talay's Update on Costa

Speaking to the media ahead of Bangkok United's AFC Champions League match against Urawa Red Diamonds, Talay revealed that Costa is still undergoing treatment and is not yet ready to return to action. "He is still recovering from the injury. We are taking things slowly and carefully with him. We don't want to rush him back and risk making the injury worse," Talay said.

Costa's Absence a Major Blow

Costa has been a key player for Bangkok United this season, scoring 16 goals in 20 appearances across all competitions. His absence in the AFC Champions League is a major setback for the Thai club, who are looking to make a deep run in the tournament.

Bangkok United's Next Challenge

Despite the absence of their star striker, Bangkok United will be hoping to secure a positive result against Urawa Red Diamonds. The Japanese side is a formidable opponent, having won the AFC Champions League title twice previously.

However, Bangkok United will be drawing confidence from their recent performances in the Thai League 1, where they are currently in second place. The team has also shown resilience in the AFC Champions League, securing a draw against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in their opening group stage match.

Looking Ahead

While Costa's absence is a significant blow, Bangkok United remains a dangerous team capable of challenging for the AFC Champions League title. The team has a strong squad with several talented players who can step up in Costa's absence.

The next few weeks will be crucial for Bangkok United as they look to maintain their momentum and make a strong push in the tournament. Fans around the world will be eagerly watching to see how the Thai club performs without their star striker.
