Ched in goal search

Posted on: Thu 13 May 2010

Ched Evans will be looking to add to his two international goals when he links up with the Welsh squad later this month.

The United striker has been named in John Toshack's 21-man squad for a friendly in Croatia on Sunday 23 May.

Ched, who has played 12 times at senior level for Wales, said:

"After the goal against Ipswich on the last day of the Championship season, of course I want to keep playing. I missed a lot of games due to the collarbone injury but now I am fully fit and raring to go.

"I enjoy playing for Wales and hopefully, if I'm given the opportunity to play, a goal or two will help boost my confidence ahead of reporting back to Shirecliffe for pre-season."

The match in Croatia is the Welsh side's penultimate friendly ahead of their 2012 European Championship qualifying opener in Montenegro in September.

Boss Toshack said: "This will be a stern test for the players, especially as the Croatians expect a full-house in Osijek and a very passionate crowd.

"However, it fits the profile of opponents for us, with the matches coming-up against Montenegro and Bulgaria in the Autumn."

The full Welsh squad for the Croatia game is...
Wayne Hennessey (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Boaz Myhill (Hull City), James Collins (Aston Villa), Danny Gabbidon (West Ham United), Chris Gunter (Nottingham Forest), Craig Morgan (Peterborough United), Lewin Nyatanga (Bristol City), Sam Ricketts (Bolton Wanderers), Ashley Williams (Swansea City), Andrew Crofts (Brighton & Hove Albion), Simon Davies (Fulham), Andy Dorman (St Mirren), David Edwards (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Andy King (Leicester City), Brian Stock (Doncaster Rovers), Craig Bellamy (Manchester City), Simon Church (Reading), David Cotterill (Swansea City), Rob Earnshaw (Nottingham Forest), Ched Evans (Sheffield United) and Sam Vokes (Wolverhampton Wanderers).
