The Syrian forces continue advancing in Hayyat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) heartlands amid intense skirmishes in the southeastern countryside of Idlib.

Propelled by the Russian and Syrian air-power, the army troops led by Tiger Force managed to kick out HTS jihadists from the key ‘Sinjar’ town along with more than 6 hamlets, on Sunday.

“Baz Qybly, Baz Shamaly, Ramleh, Sara’a, Sare’e, Jdaidah” villages were restored by government troops following heavy battles, military source said.

According to Muraselon mapper, only 15 kilometers left for the Syrian Army to reach the years-long rebel-controlled key airbase of Abu Adduhur in eastern Idlib.

Just after playing one game, Diego Costa is already having fitness issues and latest reports indicate that he is doubtful for the clash against Getafe after sustaining a knock against Lleida on Wednesday.

The Spain international netted five minutes after coming off the bench and making his first professional appearance in eight months during the 4-0 Copa Del Rey victory.

However, the 29-year-old – a €62m signing from Chelsea – picked up an injury while scoring and despite completing the match, the club confirmed he had undergone scans.

“Diego Costa has recovered well from the knock taken to his leg which caused him problems in his knee,” read an Atletico Madrid club statement.

“Today our forward worked in the gym with the rest of his teammates, taking part in a recovery session and afterwards undergoing some scans.

“His availability depends on how the recovery goes.”
