Enckelman shines in Finland win

Last updated : 05 March 2010 By Team Talk

Enckelman could do nothing about Malta's opener after a defensive lapse and left the field at half-time with the score at 1-0, but a strong second-half fightback saw Finland claim victory.

The Turku-born stopper has started Cardiff's last two games ahead of David Marshall, who despite a knee ligament injury has still been on the bench against Barnsley and Preston. He was again an unused substitute in Scotland's 1-0 win over the Czech Republic at Hampden Park.

Defender Gabor Gyepes also played no part in Hungary's 1-1 draw against Russia, while forward Warren Feeney withdrew from the Northern Ireland squad that lost 1-0 in Albania to be with his heavily pregnant wife.

Jones will now be keeping his fingers crossed they all return to the club's Vale of Glamorgan training ground injury free as he prepares his already depleted squad for Saturday's visit of Middlesbrough.
