Woe for Chris Coleman as five Wales players pull out of squad
Welsh depleted before matches against Macedonia and Belgium
Wales's preparations for their World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Belgium were thrown into turmoil on Monday after five players pulled out of the squad through injury.
Now a further five players have joined that list — Swansea defender Ben Davies, Wolves’ Sam Ricketts, Celtic player Adam Matthews, Crystal Palace’s Danny Gabbidon and Jack Collison, who is currently on loan at Bournemouth from West Ham.
Davies suffered a suspected hamstring injury late in Swansea’s 2-0 defeat at Southampton on Sunday, while Matthews hurt his collarbone playing for Celtic and Gabbidon (hamstring) missed Palace’s trip to Liverpool two days ago.
