Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey were booed by Wales fans as the players left Cardiff City Stadium following yesterday’s 4-1 win over Norway.
The pair have courted controversy by appearing in promotional images for a Team GB supporter shirt.
The Football Association of Wales do not wish their players to be involved in Stuart Pearce’s squad for the London Olympics as they fear it will harm their status as an independent footballing nation.
An FAW spokesman said the players were never in danger, adding: “We respect the right of our supporters to an opinion.”
