WALES CALL UP ADAM

Posted on: Mon 09 Nov 2009

Cardiff City's teenage full back Adam Matthews has been called into the Wales squad to face Scotland on Saturday.

It's the latest stage in the meteoric rise of 17-year-old Adam, who has turned in some dazzling displays since becoming a first-team regular this season.

He's the second Bluebirds player in the squad, as he joins Joe Ledley in the party named by national coach John Toshack on Friday.

That raises the possibility of four Cardiff players appearing in front of their home crowd in the first international match to be staged at our new stadium.

Keeper David Marshall, who looks likely to start the game in the absence of Craig Gordon, and striker Ross McCormack, are in the Scotland squad.

Wales have been hit by injuries to Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy (knee), Aston Villa defender James Collins (thigh) and Fulham midfielder Simon Davies (foot).

St Mirren midfielder Andy Dorman wins his first senior Wales call along with young Adam.

Nottingham Forest striker Rob Earnshaw and Swansea City midfielder Joe Allen have also been drafted in.

Wales fans can still buy tickets by calling 0845 345 1400. The Scotland allocation has already sold out.
