Wales have suffered a triple blow going into their upcoming Nations League A campaign with Harry Wilson, Nathan Broadhead and Karl Darlow all out of Craig Bellamy’s squad.
Leeds attacking midfielder Wilson, Wales’ most influential player in recent times, had been a doubt with a quad problem while Wrexham forward was expected to miss out due to a thigh issue.
First-choice goalkeeper Darlow has also withdrawn despite making his Manchester United debut in the EFL Cup last week and being on the bench for the Red Devils’ Premier League draw with Fulham on Sunday.
Wales have called up veteran Leicester City keeper David Cornell and Huddersfield Town forward Joe Taylor – both of whom are uncapped – as well as Reading midfielder Charlie Savage as replacements.
Bellamy’s team face Portugal in their Nations League opener in Lisbon on Thursday before they meet Denmark in Copenhagen next Sunday.
They then take on Norway in Cardiff on Thursday, 1 October before the Danes visit the Welsh capital three days later.
