Bellamy withdraws from Wales for friendly
Aug 20, 2007, 16:50 GMT
Cardiff, Wales - Wales captain Craig Bellamy withdrew from the team on Monday for the upcoming friendly with Bulgaria.
The 28-year-old striker pulled out of Wednesday's contest because his wife, Claire, is due to give birth.
Bellamy, who signed with West Ham from Liverpool for nearly $15 million over the summer, is expected to pass the captain's armband to Danny Gabbidon, his West Ham teammate.
Derby striker Robert Earnshaw or Daniel Nardiello of Queens Park Rangers will likely take Bellamy's place up top alongside Freddy Eastwood.
