Blues loanee Jonny Williams has been forced out of the Wales squad for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Cyprus on Monday having suffered an ankle injury during Friday’s 0-0 draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"Jonny’s not going to be available,” Welsh manager Chris Coleman confirmed. "We were worried on Friday night because we didn’t expect him to last 90 minutes as he lacked games at domestic level.
"There were two or three heavy challenges on him and it has unfortunately paid its price.
"He’s a gutsy player and greedy on the pitch – he’s not afraid to go right at the heart of the opposition. He’s very positive in his play.
"It’s another midfielder and it’s a position we didn’t want to lose another player but we have. It’s done.
"It’s bare bones but we still have enough in this group to be positive and go and get the win tomorrow night.”
Daryl Murphy and Christophe Berra are now the only two Town players with international squads.
Murphy’s Ireland face Germany in Gelsenkirchen in their next qualifier on Tuesday when Berra’s Scotland take on Poland in Warsaw.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town are keen to sign Blues skipper Luke Chambers on loan with a view to a permanent deal when his contract expires in the summer, according to claims in one of this morning's tabloids.
It seems highly unlikely that either the club or the player would be interested in such a move.
Elsewhere, writing in his column in the Irish Sunday Independent, Blues winger Stephen Hunt says ex-Town boss Roy Keane recently asked him if he wanted to buy his house in Woodbridge, which has been back on the market since May.
