Wolves striker Diego Costa is hoping to play against Nottingham Forest next weekend.
The former Chelsea striker joined Wolves as a free agent last month and has only made two Premier League appearances so far, from the bench in a defeat to West Ham on October 1. and against Chelsea on Saturday. The 34-year-old hopes to "play well" against Forest, a game he could start as Wolves look to turn their early fortunes around.
Costa has said "the league starts" for Wolves with the match against Forest and called the upcoming match at Molineux a "must-win" game. Forest will be hoping to into the game off the back of a win as they host Aston Villa on Monday evening.

"I am finding my rhythm now," Costa said. "I am training hard and looking after myself a lot more than before to be able to play at the best possible level. Every day I’m feeling better.
"I hope that I can play in the next game and play well. The next game is where the league starts for us. We knew that Chelsea, with the players they have, were the favourites to win today.
"They’re in a different league to us but our next game is a must-win. We need to try and get a good run going."
