Wigan Athletic striker Henri Camara has admitted he has a lot to prove as he prepares to embark on a run in the first team.

The Senegal international made his first league appearance of the season as a second-half substitute during Saturday's goalless draw with Stoke City.

Camara replaced Emile Heskey and is likely to enjoy a more prominent role in the team in the coming weeks after the England striker picked up a hamstring injury.

"Sometimes you have to be patient and hopefully the manager will give me a chance because I feel I've got a lot to prove at this club," the 31-year-old told the club's official website.

"It's great to be back. It's football and I want to play, so from that aspect it's a real positive.

"But the negative is the fact that we didn't manage to get the win against Stoke."

Meanwhile, Camara is relishing the prospect of partnering Egypt hot-hot Amr Zaki, starting with Tuesday's Carling Cup meeting with Arsenal.

"We've played together once before, against Notts County, and it resulted in three goals from us," he continued.

"Obviously the opposition on Tuesday is different but we struck up a good understanding whereby he was the anchorman and I was able to buzz around him."
