WORCESTER Wolves Basketball Club face a race against time to get their American star Josh Cooprider back for their home National League Division One clash against Hull on Saturday.
Cooprider returned to the United States for Christmas and was due to fly back to England yesterday, but his flight was cancelled and he is now desperately trying for another flight.
The club's Director of Operations Mick Donovan said: "We are just sitting by the phone waiting. It will be a big blow if he can't get back in time because he is quite well established in the team now and is scoring points heavily."
Wolves return to action on Saturday after a four-week break, hoping to revive their play-off push after slipping to fifth place in the table.
