Libor Kozak

[eamonn]

So what's the craic then, him and Helenius battling it out for the CrouchOrmondroyd role next season?

[Clampy]

I like Kozak as well. I know he's not what we really needed at the time, but I thought he looked a decent striker for the money we paid.

One would like to think we might get some timely returns from injury in the next few weeks - Kozak, Vlaar, Baker, Senderos et al

I'm trying to send some positive energy from all of us to the big man

[Salsa Party Animal]

I hope Tim Sherwood will use him and Benteke as main pair for next season. It will be nice to see him play next month or whatever.

Libor Kozak is set to make his long awaited return from injury in tonight's U21 meeting with Wolves at Molineux.

The striker has been sidelined for 14 months after breaking his leg on the practice pitches of Bodymoor Heath in January 2014.

Loan moves for Lewis Kinsella and Graham Burke sees Niall Mason and Rory Hale come in while regulars Jerell Sellars and Riccardo Calder are back in the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, Carles Gil features in his second consecutive match for Gordon Cowans' side.

Villa U21s make the short trip to Molineux as they look to make it a hat-trick of victories over their Black Country rivals for the 2014-15 campaign.

Back in October 2014, goals from Jack Grealish and Jerell Sellars helped Villa to a 2-1 win in the reverse Barclays U21 Premier League fixture at Burton.

The two West Midlands sides also met in a Premier League Cup last 16 tie.

Michael Drennan's early goal was the difference that day.

Cowans' Young Lions are in good form ahead of the trip and have picked up maximum points in their previous two matches.

Two late strikes beat Bolton at the Macron Stadium before an experienced claret and blue XI saw off West Brom 3-0 at Bodymoor Heath last time out.

Goals from Graham Burke, Grealish and Joshua Webb secured victory over the Baggies.

Meanwhile, basement side Wolves go into the clash on the back of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Derby last Thursday.

The division's draw specialists have struggled for consistency.

They have won one, drawn eight and lost eight of their league games.

Kick-off at Molineux is 7pm.

WOLVES U21: McCarey, Matinyadze, O'Hanlon, Evans, Hayden, Upton, Ismail, Kellermann, Wilson, Hunte, Graham. Subs: Simpson, Burgoyne, Weeks, Harris, Bancessi.

VILLA U21: Steer, Leggett, Toner (C), Mason, Hale, Calder, Cowans, Sellars, Gil, Hepburn-Murphy, Kozak. Subs: Watkins, Webb, McKirdy, Green, Suliman.

Good luck big man. Get your confidence back first!

[SheffieldVillain]

Great news. Good luck Libor.

[oldtimernow]

Welcome back Libor.

Hope you get some joy!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Great news and hopefully he'll get through with no problems.

Good luck, Libor.

[supertom]

Good luck Libor.
He impressed me last season. If he's fit enough to play by May he could yet make a telling contribution to our fate.

[ajmant]

Played 60 odd minutes......Hoorah!
