Last updated : 26 August 2004 By Kevin Markey

Three players in The Whites squad, England U-21s Scott Carson and Matthew Kilgallon and Irish U-21 Henry McStay, have received international call-ups.

"We sincerely regret having to take this course of action at such late notice, but Scott Carson’s call-up means that we really have no alternative, as we need our strongest squad available at all times,” said Chief Operating Officer Shaun Harvey on the official website.

"We apologise to all those fans who will be inconvenienced by this, in particular those who have already made travel arrangements.

"At present, we are speaking with Watford Football Club regarding a suitable date to rearrange the fixture, which will now hopefully take place at some point during November."
