Hughes confident
Manager Mark Hughes remains confident of Wales’ chances of qualifying for World Cup finals in Germany.

Hughes also insists he has no plans to turn his back on Wales after speculation linking him with the manager’s job at Blackburn. "I've no plans to leave the post, which is more than just a job to me,” said Hughes.

Hughes will announce the squad for the two matches in October next week in Cardiff.

"It's ridiculous to say the qualifying group is over because I remember as a player losing 5-1 in an opening World Cup qualifier and yet we took it to the last game in the group." – Mark Hughes.
