The Senegal striker returned to training with Latics last week after spending the majority of last term on loan at West Ham.
Bruce confessed he thought Camara had left the club
permanently having come to the end of his contract, but his deal has
another year to run.

So it's decision time for the Latics boss, whether to try to sell him or have him as a member of the first-team squad this season.
Camara is a player Bruce does rate, particularly with him scoring 12 goals in his first season at the JJB Stadium.

But the 31-year-old is also a high earner and if he's not going to be a regular, it would make financial sense to sell.
Bruce said: "It's a difficult one regards Henri.
"I have to be honest, I didn't realise he was coming back to us. I thought he had gone.

"But he's part of the squad and I'll sit down with him over the next few weeks to see what his plans are.
"He got 12 league goals in his first season here which takes some doing in the Premier League, that shows he has something.
"Whatever has happened since, it's gone a bit sour for him.
"I don't know what went on – it was before I came – maybe he fell out with someone?"

It was his late return from the African Nations Cup in that first
season which probably left the sour taste, Camara failing to rediscover his form since then.
Bruce spoke this week of the importance of putting together a high calibre forward line, Emile Heskey, Antoine Sibierski, Marlon King and Camara are on the books.
