Representing the Under 21's Oli has been called up to the senior squad for the first time and joining Barcelona's Eidur Gudjohnson he will battle for a place in the team against Spain a week today.

Skulason scored the winning goal against Blackpool on Saturday and after hearing that he has been called up to the squad his manager heaped praise upon the youngster,

"I'm delighted for the lad after his enforced absense. He's getting fitter and stronger day by day and this recognition is a real lift for him and of course the Club particularily so soon after his return."
