Diary

Thursday, 23 September 2004 - Wales manager, Mark Hughes announces his final 27-man squad for the games against England and Poland in October.  Hughes will step down as manager following these matches.

Wednesday, 6 October 2004 - Striker Gareth Taylor and midfielder Andy Johnson have been released from the Wales squad and returned to their clubs to recover from injury.  Neither of the two were likely to start against England.  But their absence further limits manager Mark Hughes' options, who has already lost Rob Page and Rhys Weston, although they should be back for the squad against Poland.
