MIDFIELDER Mark Jones has been sent home from the Wales camp after developing flu like symptoms, while club mate Steve Evans returns for his country after getting over his ankle injury.

Meanwhile, Jason Koumas has withdrawn from the squad to travel to Slovakia for Wednesday's Group D Euro 2008 qualifier in Trnava.

The Wigan man was replaced midway through Wales' 2-0 defeat to Germany on Saturday and will not fly out with the squad due to a foot injury.

But captain Craig Bellamy has made himself available for the game after missing Saturday's defeat to Germany in Cardiff.

The West Ham striker returned to the Wales training camp on Monday morning after spending the last few days at hospital with his newborn baby.

But his baby and wife are now set to be discharged from hospital, allowing Bellamy to fly out with the squad on Monday afternoon.

Wales and West Ham team-mate James Collins said Bellamy's return was a "massive boost" for the team.

"He gives us a threat behind defences with his pace and he's also our leader on the pitch," said centre-back Collins.

"I'm sure he'll be up for it - he's up for every game. Obviously he's had a tricky couple of days with his family, but fingers crossed that's all sorted and he can concentrate on Wednesday."

Wales had called up striker Jermaine Easter as cover, with defender Neal Eardley and midfielders David Vaughan and David Edwards also added to the squad.
