Certain comments and actions in the build-up to the England and Poland games have made my position within the Welsh squad untenable for the time being.

I cannot prevent supporters and journalists alike from reaching their own conclusions as to my motives,

It is a joke, an absolute nonsense to even suggest such things.

The manager held court with the media and gave one side of this unfortunate affair, which is why I'm now giving my side,

I have never bottled anything in my life and I'm not going to start now,

I have been shown around the training facilities here, and they are really terrific. The pitches look great, and everything seems to be so well organized.
