Wolves captain Karl Henry has thrown down the welcome mat to Bobby Zamora and insisted the Fulham striker will be back in the England squad soon.

Zamora faces Wolves on Saturday for the first time since suffering a broken leg in a challenge with the Molineux skipper in Wolves' 2-1 defeat at Craven Cottage in September.

The England international has since made a full recovery from the injury with three goals in four Premier League games - his latest outing being his 350th League appearance - since his return to senior action in February.

And that has been applauded by Henry, who is pleased to see Zamora fully fit again, even though he poses a significant threat to Wolves this weekend.

The Wolves skipper said: "I'm delighted to see him back, even though he's clearly going to be a threat for Fulham on Saturday.

"It's never nice to see any player pick up a broken leg or another nasty injury.

"I'm really pleased to see him back looking sharp and scoring goals and I'm sure he'll be back in the England squad soon."

Henry admits Wolves need to be much tighter on Zamora than they have been in their last two outings, after heavy defeats against Newcastle and Everton.

He added: "We need to tighten up after leaking goals in the last two and we'll be looking to do that."
