​Wolves manager Lage sets date for Diego Costa debut

Wolves manager Bruno Lage has revealed Diego Costa is two weeks away from playing for his team.

The veteran striker was recently signed on a free transfer but was not fit enough to make the bench for last weekend's loss to Manchester City.

Costa could make the bench for Wolves' trip to West Ham in just under two weeks.

Lage said: "He didn't train with the team all week. It will take time for him to be ready to compete at this level.

"He's fit, he doesn't have any problems, but he's spent a long time without playing and he didn't do any training with the team.

"He will start working with the team and I hope that in two weeks we can get him to the level where he can be a solution from the bench."
