NEWS: Toshack to name squad, Bellamy ok?
 Manager John Toshack will name the squad for the friendly matches against Iceland and Netherlands on Thursday afternoon 15th May. Toshack will also be up in Wrexham for the Under 21 friendly against England on the same evening.
With the end of season club matches completed ahead of the two away games, Toshack should hopefully have a full complement of players for selection, though a larger than usual squad will be named.
The squad will travel to Reykjavik on Tuesday, whilst travelling to Rotterdam on the Friday ahead of the Netherlands friendly on the Sunday.
Captain Craig Bellamy looks at the moment to be ok, and should hopefully be named in the squad. Definitely not available for selection will be Gareth Bale, James Collins and Danny Gabbidon.

Iceland v Wales - Friendly (Wed 28-May-08) - Reykjavik, kick off 7.30pm (local time)
Netherlands v Wales - Friendly (Sun 1-Jun-08) - Rotterdam, kick off 3pm (local time).
