West Ham United striker Craig Bellamy will train with FA Cup finalists Cardiff City in a bid to regain full fitness ahead of Wales' forthcoming summer internationals.

Bellamy has suffered an injury-blighted season and is currently sidelined with an abdominal injury, having not played for Alan Curbishley's side since February.

However, Bellamy is now back in full training and will work with Cardiff next week as the Championship side steps up its preparation for the FA Cup final against Portsmouth on 17th May.

Hammers boss Curbishley said: "Craig Bellamy is in full training and has been doing everything. We're going to hopefully continue that.

"Obviously we finish at the weekend but kindly (Cardiff manager) Dave Jones has allowed Craig to train with them for a week as they prepare for the cup game so he can get another week's football in."

Wales face friendly matches against Iceland on 28th May, Holland the following Sunday and then Georgia on 20th August.
