Caps for Quartet?
Caps for Quartet?
Friday, 6th Oct 2006 09:59

Four Town players could win caps at various levels this weekend. Alan Lee and Lewis Price could add to their full international appearances with the Republic of Ireland and Wales respectively, while Jaime Peters is with Canada's U20s and Chris Casement with Northern Ireland's U19s.

Defender Casement is likely to start for the Northern Irish youngsters today when they take on Belgium in a European U19 Championship qualifier in Romania. Casement's side need a win having lost the opening match of the group to Georgia on Wednesday.

Peters and Canada face the Czech Republic in Prague in the second of two friendlies, the Czechs having won the first match 2-0.

Alan Lee could win his ninth full Republic of Ireland cap when Steve Staunton's side travel to take on Cyprus in a Euro 2008 qualifier on Saturday.

With a number of Irish strikers out injured, Lee could start his first competitive game against the Cypriots or against the Czech Republic at Lansdowne Road on Wednesday. The striker is yet to win a cap since joining the Blues in January.

Lewis Price is likely to be on the Wales bench for their Euro 2008 qualifiers against Slovakia on Saturday and Cyprus next Wednesday. Veteran stopper Paul Jones is currently John Toshack's first choice.

Meanwhile, Town will hope that Darren Bent makes his first competitive appearance for England against Macedonia at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Blues will receive an extra £200,000 from Charlton for each of Bent's first two competition games for Steve McLaren's side.
