A number of West Ham United players could be in action this weekend as the Euro 2008 qualifiers near their conclusion.
Freddie Ljungberg is in line to captain Sweden for the trip to Liechtenstein on Saturday as they look to consolidate their hold on Group F. Sweden are level on 19 points with Spain, although have a game in hand as they do on third-placed Northern Ireland who are three points adrift of the top two. Northern Ireland, featuring George McCartney, go to Sweden on Wednesday - meaning the club-mates could be in direct opposition for a place in Austria and Switzerland next year.
Meanwhile, Danny Gabbidon, James Collins and Craig Bellamy will all hope to figure when Wales travel to Cyprus on Saturday and then on to San Marino four days later. Although John Toshack's men are ten points adrift of the Czech Republic and 12 behind leaders Germany in Group D, they have realistic ambitions of finishing in third place in the section. Further afield, Nolberto Solano is with Peru in Lima as they start on the road to the 2010 World Cup with a qualifying match against Paraguay before heading to Santiago for a fixture in Chile on Wednesday.
Also hoping to be in action in midweek is Mark Noble after being suspended for England Under-21's home fixture against Montenegro in Leicester on Friday night. The midfielder had played in the previous two 2009 European Under-21 Championship qualification victories, and scored in the most recent outing - a 2-0 victory against Bulgaria. Noble will be eligible to play in Tuesday's trip to the Republic of Ireland. Finally, defender Christian Dailly, on loan at Southampton, is with Scotland for their Euro 2008 qualifiers against Ukraine and Georgia on Saturday and Wednesday respectively.
Good Luck! dont injured yourself! ;)
