STAN Collymore has Wanderers in his sights as he sits and waits anxiously for a chance to revive his dwindling World Cup hopes.

The Aston Villa and England striker is out of action after having a cortisone injection to try and cure his groin problem. Villa boss John Gregory admits the most "realistic" comeback date for the £7million star would be the home Premiership clash with Wanderers on April 25.

Gregory reckons the player, whose World Cup hopes have been rapidly fading after he started the campaign in Glenn Hoddle's squad, would have only "three more games, top whack" this season.
