Suspended from playing by the Football Association for his part in the row when Chelsea beat Arsenal, the striker was then left out of the Spanish squad by Vicente del Bosque as he is also suspended from one of their two matches this week.
He woke up this morning a year older, probably in a better mood as he is celebrating his 27th birthday.
But those birthday wishes soon turned into mocking on social media.
Let's be frank, Costa looks a bit older than his 27 years and plenty of people reminded him of that fact:
Happy birthday, Diego!
