Cardiff City reserves take on Cheltenham Town at 2pm on Tuesday. All being well Peter Thorne and Rhys Weston will make comebacks with a view to making the first team squad for Saturday.

Scott Young and Spencer Prior should also both play as Young continues his long term recovery.

On Tuesday night Ireland take on Canada, live on Sky, with Graham Kavanagh starting for the Irish.

The big one for Wales on Wednesday. Kick off at 7:30pm in the Millennium Stadium. Daniel Gabbidon is sure to start but will Mark Hughes start Earnie or will he stick to the XI that earned the draw in Moscow on Saturday? Earnshaw has to play a part, he's the top scorer in the country at the moment.

Scotland take a 1 - 0 lead to Holland on Wednesday night. I've still not found out why Neil Alexander was left off the bench last Saturday. Will he be back on Wednesday? Hopefully it's not an injury concern as City were without Martyn Margetson for the last league game. He should be back this Saturday but it would be nice to know we have at least one 100% fit keeper.

After the internationals it's back to Cardiff City. The trip to bottom placed Wimbledon at Milton Keynes, ko 3:00pm on Saturday. Wimbledon have won three of their last 5, that's a huge improvement after going 12 without a win. City have got to take all the points and keep in touch with the play off places.
