Wolves have hit a hitch in their attempt to bring Diego Costa back to the Premier League but remain hopeful of signing the former Chelsea striker after launching an appeal to the Football Association after he was denied a work permit.

Costa is expected to fly into England on Tuesday to report for a medical on Wednesday. A hearing will take place to determine whether the decision will be overturned, with Wolves hopeful of receiving an answer before Saturday’s game at Liverpool.
