...and it's not good.
James Collins (Aston Villa), Simon Davies (Fulham), Danny Gabbidon (West Ham United), Andy King (Leicester City) and David Cotterill (Sheffield United) will all miss Wales’ friendly against Croatia. James’ wife is about to give birth for the first time, Simon is having more problems with the foot injury that he’s had trouble with for the past year, Danny has a calf injury, Andy has a hamstring injury and David has a groin injury.
No disrespect to James and I do hope all goes well with the birth but couldn’t he have said something before? You usually get nine months’ notice with this sort of thing.
They join Tottenham Hotspur’s Gareth Bale (back/knee/rested – take your pick), Swansea City’s Joe Allen (shoulder), West Ham United’s Jack Collison (knee) and Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey (leg) on the sidelines.
Joe Ledley, Adam Matthews and Darcy Blake (all Cardiff City) and Neal Eardley, Rob Edwards and David Vaughan (all Blackpool) also miss out due to their clubs’ participation in the Championship Play-off Final.
John Toshack is likely to promote members of the Under-21 side – who lost to Austria tonight – to take their place in the A squad.
The (remains of the) Wales Squad to face Croatia
Wayne Hennessey (Wolves), Boaz Myhill (Hull), Chris Gunter (Nottm Forest), Craig Morgan (Peterborough), Lewin Nyatanga (Bristol City), Sam Ricketts (Bolton), Ashley Williams (Swansea), Andrew Crofts (Brighton), Andy Dorman (St Mirren), Dave Edwards (Wolves), Brian Stock (Doncaster), Craig Bellamy (Man City), Simon Church (Reading), Robert Earnshaw (Nottm Forest), Ched Evans (Sheff Utd), Sam Vokes (Wolves).
