Iceland look to build on success

Eyjólfur Sverrisson has selected his players for the qualifiers against Latvia and Liechtenstein as Iceland look to build on their win against Northern Ireland in Group F.

Hreidarsson suspended
Keith Gillespie scored a last-minute own goal as the visitors lost 2-1 in Reykjavik, and Sverrisson will be hoping for another victory against Latvia in the capital on 13 October. Portsmouth FC defender Hermann Hreidarsson is suspended for that game, but is likely to play four days later in Vaduz. Iceland are fifth in the pool and out of the running for UEFA EURO 2008™.
