Fulham's Welsh stars Andy Melville and
Kit Symons have been called to the Wales squad for their World Cup double
header against Poland and Ukraine in June along with possible Fulham
transfer target Tranmere youngster Jason Koumas.
Koumas is also eligible to play for Cyprus and England, but he was born
in Wrexham, and following months discussions with Wales manager Mark Hughes
had decided to commit himself to his homeland.

Andy is a regular in the Welsh defence
should start again in both games. This means unfortunately that Kit is
likely to be stuck on the subs bench again.
There is no place for veteran striker Dean Saunders who has retired from
international football after a 15-year international career.
Saunders set a new caps record as an outfield player in the match with
Armenia in March but has not been a regular in the Bradford side this
term and now will not add to his 74 caps in June.
