Ronald Zubar is ‘back to the future’

Wolves defender Ronald Zubar wants to go ‘back to the future’ as he prepares for his comeback against League Two club Southend.

Zubar’s debut for the club came a year and a day ago at the same stage of the Carling Cup against Swindon.

That game, Wolves edged through on penalties after a goalless draw to secure a third round tie at Manchester United.

Now the 25-year-old would be satisfied with a similar outcome at Molineux tonight following his groin injury.

He said: “I’m ready if the gaffer needs me tonight. The Carling Cup was my first game last season and it might be the same again.

“It was a good memory for me and a clean sheet. But these games are never easy.

“Hopefully we’ll put on a good performance, get a clean sheet again and win.”

Zubar returns after a frustrating pre-season which saw him suffer an ankle injury 20 minutes into the first friendly against Bohemians before the latest problem.

He said: “It’s been frustrating. Now I’m happy to be fit and be back in training.

“Hopefully I can be involved tonight.”
