Last updated : 30 March 2005 By Gary Fish

Celtic striker John Hartson is likely to be omitted from the Wales sqaud that lines up against Austria in Vienna tonight..

It is expected that team mate Craig Bellamy will be partnered up front by Ryan Giggs, offering a pacey attack as Toshack looks to make ammends for Saturday's 0-2 defeat at the Millennium Stadium.

Wales will be without goalkeeper Lewis Price who joined the U21 squad for last night's defeat against Austria U21, and Danny Collins is also after returning to his clkub with a fever.

Cardiff defender will again play as a sweeper in a five-man defence alongside James Collins, Sam Ricketts, Mark Delaney and Dave Partridge or Rob Page.

The midfield three will consist of Simon Davies and two from Jason Koumas, Carl Robinson and Carl Fletcher with the latter two expected to start.

Austria will be without defender Emanuel Pogatetz who is suspended, however, midfielder Dietmar Kuhbauer returns from a ban.
