Wolves new signing Sasa Kalajdzic picked up a serious injury in his debut game against Southampton. And the veteran is the first choice for his replacement

That's just life, in a nutshell. Full of misfortune, or luck, on the other hand. And when the doors shut for one man, the other benefits from it.

You've probably recently read on our website about Sasa Kalajdzic's arrival to Wolves.

The 25-year-old Austrian striker of Serbian descent came from Stuttgart as a major reinforcement but suffered a terrible ACL injury on his debut on Saturday against Southampton in the Premier League.

"Sasa felt a pain in his knee late in the first half against Southampton. Unfortunately, scans reveal an anterior cruciate injury, and he will see a knee specialist," a statement from Wolves read. "We now need to support Sasa in his recovery, and further updates will follow."

Wolverhampton had to react promptly and of all the players available on the market, they turned to a well-known name - Diego Costa.

As we also wrote, the 33-year-old Brazilian, who represented Spain on an international level, has been clubless since January after ending his spell at Atletico Mineiro.

However, now, according to The Guardian, Diego Costa is set to have a medical for a surprise move to Wolves.

Costa, who won two Premier League titles in three seasons at Chelsea, is likely to be offered a one-year deal depending on the results of his medical. He has not played since terminating his contract with Mineiro, having made only 19 appearances for them.
