Nouha Dicko admitted he was disappointed not to get on the score sheet on his return to first team action, speaking to wolves.co.uk.

The 24-year-old made his first appearance of the season, having missed more than a year of football after picking up a knee ligament injury in September 2015. The striker came off the bench in the 63rd minute, replacing Joao Teixeira, and almost capped off his return with a goal, only to be squandered by Norwich goalkeeper Michael McGovern.

“I wish I had scored that chance, but these things happen in football,” Dicko told wolves.co.uk.

“It’s a fine line between being the hero and being left disappointed.”

The French striker could not inspire a Wolves comeback, with Walter Zenga’s side eventually losing 2-1 to the Canaries, meaning Wolves dropped down to 12th going into the international break.

Despite slipping down the table, Wolves will be happy to have their number nine back, and the two week break from action will give Dicko a chance to continue working on his fitness, which will hopefully see him return to his goal scoring ways.

Dicko has been fairly prolific in front of goal since moving to Molineux in 2014 from Wigan, scoring 27 league goals in 62 appearances.

The forward has only made six appearances however in the last year, meaning it could take Dicko some time before he gets back to his best.
