Finland name full-strength squad for Euro qualifiers
HELSINKI, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Finland coach Antti Muurinen has named
a full strength squad for Euro 2004 qualifiers against Azerbaijan and
Wales next month.
Ajax forward Jari Litmanen, Auxerre midfielder Teemu Tainio and Liverpool
defender Sami Hyypia are among the players returning to the squad after
missing the 1-1 friendly draw against Denmark earlier this month for a
variety of reasons.

leaders Wales four days later and must win both matches to have any chance
of reaching the finals in Portugal next year.
