Leicester City's Andy King pushes for Wales start

Leicester City's Andy King is pushing for a start for Wales tonight when they entertain Croatia, in Swansea, after his superb cameo as a substitute against Scotland on Friday.

The City midfielder went on with Wales a goal behind but played an influential role as they came back to win 2-1 in their World Cup qualifier, in Glasgow.

King had a goal chalked off for a foul on Scotland keeper Allan McGregor before setting up Hal Robson-Kanu for the winner, after Aaron Ramsey's equaliser from the penalty spot.

King could now replace Ramsey, who is suspended after receiving a red card at Hampden Park, against Croatia at the Liberty Stadium.

City striker Chris Wood is set to start again for New Zealand against the Solomon Islands after playing the full 90 minutes for the All Whites in their 2-1 win over New Caledonia, in Dunedin.

That victory cemented New Zealand's place in the play-offs, where they will face a country from the North, Central America & Caribbean qualifying group for a place at the World Cup 2014, in Brazil.

Both Sean St Ledger and Kasper Schmeichel were unused substitutes for the Republic of Ireland and Denmark respectively.

The Irish picked up a great goalless draw in Sweden and entertain Austria tonight in Dublin, while Denmark picked up a shock 3-0 win over the Czech Republic and face Bulgaria tonight in Copenhagen.

All four are expected to return to City on Thursday ahead of Friday night's visit of Millwall to the King Power Stadium.
