Four Swansea City players will wear the red of Wales and Trinidad this weekend as the next round of Fifa World Cup qualifiers take place around the globe.

Ashley Williams and Owain Tudur-Jones are with Dragons ahead of this afternoon's first competitive meeting against minnows Liechtenstein (5.15pm) while in the early hours of Sunday morning Jason Scotland and Dennis Lawrence are in Guatemala for a tough tie with Trinidad & Tobago (3am).

John Toshack's young Wales side will be looking to build on last month's slender 1-0 victory over Azerbaijan and good performance in Moscow, which Russia narrowly won 2-1, and Trinidad will be looking to improve on their home draw against Guatemala and defeat in the USA.

Wales welcome back skipper Craig Bellamy from long-term injury while Wolves 'keeper Wayne Hennessey looks set to start after suffering with a bug earlier in the week, but missing from Tosh's ranks are the likes of Freddy Eastwood, Robert Earnshaw and Joe Ledley.

"I'm glad to be back with Wales as it has been a while," said 29-year-old Bellamy.

"I missed the September qualifiers with Azerbaijan and Russia because I knew my hamstring was a problem, it was very sore.

"I have moved heaven and earth to play for Wales in the past and booked flights myself to make it happen because I'm proud to be Welsh and international games mean a lot to me."

Liechtenstein make their first ever trip to the Millennium Stadium and their only English-based player, Darlington's Frankz Burgmeier (below), is targeting an upset but insists that he would be delighted with a draw.

"The game starts 0-0 and we hope not to concede any goals," said the Quakers' midfielder.

"We have to have a good start. The first 15 or 20 minutes Wales will want to make pressure. We have to keep them out, make them nervous and wait for the crowd to become nervous. That is our target."

"If we could get a point in Cardiff, then I'd sign for it now."

The small principality of some 35,000 inhabitants, situated between Austria and Switzerland, will be backed by a small band of Darlo supporters who will make the long trip south, missing their own League Two match at Luton, to support their international star.

Liechtenstein's FA has stated that their side would welcome all of the support they can get, but one of their number one fan's is travel writer Charlie Connelly who followed the small nation's fortunes during the 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign and wrote a book about it, Stamping Grounds.

"Liechtensteiners are a happy bunch on the whole,"  said the Londoner.

"But they're not passionate about their football in general - the national team have only been playing on the world stage for a decade or so, so it's not as ingrained in the culture there as it is elsewhere.

"There is a group of younger fans organising themselves into a supporters' club, the first generation not to remember a time when Liechtenstein didn't compete in World Cups and European Championships so that will probably make a difference."

He added: "There's been a few setbacks with the team, some of caused by politics within the corridors of the LFV (the Football Association), but there's generally been a significant improvement in the team's fortunes since I started watching them.

"They score more goals for one thing, and there are far more full-time professionals in the squad."
