Wales have made it clear that they want Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy to stay on with the national side.
The 32-year-old has previously stated that he plans to retire after Wales's Gary Speed memorial match with Costa Rica later this month.
"There's no indications that I've had that he will be [retiring after the Costa Rica game]," Wales assistant Osian Roberts said.
"He's had good discussions with Chris [Coleman] as well so hopefully that's a positive thing.
"The form he's been in with Liverpool has been absolutely fantastic this year and for us it's imperative he's in the team and around the squad, because not only is he influential on the pitch, he's extremely influential off the pitch and in the dressing room."
Bellamy has made 67 appearances for Wales, scoring 19 goals since his debut in 1998.
