Captain Karl Henry today insisted Danny Murphy should mind his own business as Wolves focused on survival.

Fulham visit Molineux tomorrow with Henry admitting he was affected by Bobby Zamora's broken leg following his challenge in September.

That incident sparked Murphy's comments that teams such as Wolves were 'too pumped up'.

Zamora, who shares the same agent as Henry, has since made a full recovery, scoring three goals in four Premier League games since returning in February.

And Henry said: "I think Danny Murphy should worry about himself and his team and no-one else's.

"When you're talking about an injury to a player, it's not something you easily brush off. I spoke to Bobby when it happened and I've spoken to him since and I'm really pleased to see he's fully fit and scoring goals.

"I hope he gets back in the England squad soon and he seems to have picked up where he left off, so I'm really pleased."

Although affected by Zamora's injury, Henry will not be distracted from Wolves' need for points in the battle to stay up once the game gets underway.

"I'm fine and I'll play my normal game and make sure I do what I do best," he said.

"I'm not worrying about anything else but the bigger picture, which is that we're bottom of the league and we need to get out of trouble."

Henry's stance on Murphy was backed up by Fulham boss Mark Hughes, who warned his player is in for a hot reception at Molineux and was wrong to make the comments.

"Danny might get a bit of a reception," said Hughes. "The mistake he made was to single out the respective clubs."

Wolves midfielder Adlene Guedioura suffered a broken leg in the same month as Zamora, from a tackle by Fulham's then-Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell. "These things happen in football — we all know there's a chance you might come off injured," said Henry.
