Wales vs Sweden International friendly soccer match on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.

Venue: The Liberty Stadium

Time: 19:45 GMT

Teams Report:

Wales will be without Craig Bellamy and Aaron Ramsey for their clash with Sweden at the Liberty Stadium.

Manchester City accepted the blame for Bellamy’s absence but Wales manager John Toshack has hinted that the striker will not be selected for friendlies from now on.

The news has come as a major blow to Toshack, who was already without Cardiff star Joe Ledley (hip), Wolves’ Dave Edwards (ankle), Joe Allen of Swansea (knee) and Doncaster’s Brian Stock (back).

Bolton defender Sam Ricketts has also pulled out after picking up a knock, while Danny Gabbidon is another senior player to miss out.

Sheffield United’s Ched Evans could again partner Simon Church of Reading up front as Aston Villa defender James Collins wears the captain’s armband.

Sweden are also looking ahead to the Euro 2012 qualifiers after missing out on a place at the World Cup.

Sweden’s failure to reach South Africa prompted Lars Lagerback to step down as manager and Erik Hamren will take charge of the game in Swansea.

There are still a number of familiar faces including Bolton striker Johan Elmander and former Villa defender Olof Mellberg, now at Olympiakos, who is poised to win his 100th cap.
