Player News Oct 4, 2003

Simon Davies is definately out of the match against Serbia. Caretaker manager David Pleat has said he is more than willing for Simon to travel down to Cardiff on Sunday to be assessed by Wales' medical team.

Robert Page will know next week whether he requires surgery on his foot injury.

Nathan Blake has recovered from his chest infection and is included in Wolves team today.

Robbie Savage however does not play for Birmingham today because of an achilles strain.

Rotherham want to extend Carl Robinson's loan period by a further two months.

Davies And Page Unlikely For Serbia Match Oct 2, 2003

Simon Davies looks unlikely to be fit for the match against Serbia & Montenegro.As reported previously he was struggling with a thigh injury which has kept him out of the Tottenham Hotspurs team for several weeks. Simon picked up the injury in the match against Finland and is still not close to full fitness. This will be a bitter blow for Mark Hughes but hopefully he will be ready for the play-offs.

Robert Page has been struggling with a heel injury and now looks likely to need surgery.This may not be so much of a problem for Mark Hughes who has already made it known that he may protect the 5 players (Page being one) who are already on yellow cards for the play-off matches.

Tuesday's news Aug 19, 2003

The match against Serbia & Montenegro is what kept Mark Delaney going through a "very lonely" summer. Mark has spent the summer break not on the sun drenched beaches but fighting hard to be fit for tomorrow's match and the game in Italy.

He didn't know that fellow defender Andy Melville will miss the match in Belgrade through injury until a couple of days ago. He believes Andy will be a big loss because of his experience.

"Andy is definately an unsung hero in the team." said Mark.


Nathan Blake believes he can do a job for Wales. He believes that the game in Belgrade is massive but that all the upcoming qualifiers are massive and that Serbia is a difficult place to play.

"Playing the role John has got is very difficult because you spend most of the match with your back to goal. It's a really hard role - but I've done it before and I know I can do it." Blake said.
