Diego Costa apologized to his Wolves teammates after being sent off in the second half of their 1-1 draw with Brentford.
The striker was sent off for violent conduct after appearing to headbutt Brentford’s Ben Mee, and he is now set to miss three games, including the Boxing Day match against Everton after the World Cup.

He apologized, interim head coach Steve Davis said. When emotions are high it is difficult to discuss things, but we’ll have a conversation with him next week.”
Earlier in the second half, Ruben Neves’ equalizer cancelled out Mee’s superb volley to help Wolves earn a point that moved them up to 18th place.
The first half was attritional and injury-plagued, but the second half was more lively, with Brentford’s Ivan Toney missing from close range late on.

However, the Bees’ prolific striker was booked for his fifth yellow card of the season, which means he will miss their next game against Nottingham Forest.
Costa was brought in specifically to improve Wolves’ attacking threat, but no goals in six appearances and now a six-month absence is not what the Wolves hierarchy or fans would have preferred.
