Only Keogh and Gyepes get the call

After Cardiff City get the Barnsley game out of the way there will be no exodus of players for international duty as either Wales or Scotland have made the phone call.

Everyone and the monkeys’ uncle know that Craig Bellamy is out but it would seem caretaker boss Brian Flynn no place for Darcy Blake. Has boss of the under 21s Flynn he called on Blake 14 times and under ex-boss John Toshack he was called up for his first senior cap but had to pull out because of injury.

Before the squad was named talking to the South Wales Echo Blake said,

“Brian Flynn is a good manager and he’s done well with the U21 squad over the last few years.

“If he does well over the two European qualifiers he’s in charge of, I don’t see any reason he couldn’t have the Welsh manager’s job on a permanent basis.

“Personally, I’d love to be part of Brian’s team. Let’s wait and see. He sees me as a centre-back or right-back, he’s told me that.

“He has also said that as long as I am playing club football on a regular basis and doing well then I’ll have a chance of being in his squads.”

There is a chance of a late call-up after tomorrows’ league games are out of the way. Wales have been caused over the years with late pull-outs for the squad over injuries.

Scottish boss Craig Levein said he would trawl the league for players eligible to play for Scotland and it looks is task has squeezed out the Cardiff City members of is squad. Keeper David Marshall was a regular in the squad but he has recently been drop to the bench and Levein has turn to Blackpool’s’ English born keeper Matt Gilks who qualifies thanks to his Scottish grandmother

Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has put Cardiff City loanee striker Andy Keogh is named in the 26 man preliminary list for qualifiers against Russia at home and Slovakia away in the Group B European Championship qualifiers. Also defender Gabor Gyepes who was bench by City boss Jones for the mid-week Crystal Palace game has won a call-up to the Hungary squad to face San Marino and Finland

It looking like Cardiff City boss Jones will have his full squad minus Keogh and Gyepes during the international break which will also give the injury players more time to get match fit.
