Despite scoring his first goal since returning from a broken leg, last season's leading marksman knows he is not guaranteed to walk straight back into the side.
The England international, who came off the bench to slam home a decisive penalty in the 3-2 over Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, told the club's official website that the number of options available to Hughes mean that nobody is sure to start.
"There are so many attacking options now I don't expect to come back in," said Zamora. "I'm happy to play my part coming on off the bench."

A recent run of good form has steered Fulham away from the relegation battle and Zamora feels that Hughes now has a squad brimming with quality players to select from in the closing weeks of the season.
"Just looking at the bench, it's frightening. The options are brilliant and I think anyone can go in and do a good job. You have to be on top form every week in training to be able to get in that starting eleven."
Zamora signed a new contract at Fulham back in September before breaking his leg the next day in a match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
It was initially feared that he would not play again this season but the ex-Tottenham Hotspur forward has made a strong recovery.
He is now in line to figure in the club's next Barclays Premier League match at Everton on Saturday 19th March.
