James Collins, Paul Dummett and Lee Evans have all pulled out of the Wales squad for their upcoming European Qualifiers.

The trio are the latest absentees for Chris Coleman’s side, who are preparing for their Group B double header against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cyprus.

Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and David Vaughan had earlier been ruled out for Wales, who will again be without experienced West Ham defender Collins.

Collins missed the opening qualifier in Andorra last month with a hamstring injury and has since picked up a groin problem.

Newcastle’s Dummett has been sidelined with a muscular injury, while a hamstring problem has ended any hopes of a senior debut for Wolves midfielder Evans, who received his first call-up.

He tweeted: "Disappointed to have to head home from the Welsh camp! Hopefully my time with Wales will come again."

Cardiff City defender Declan John and Crawley Town's Joe Walsh have been called up as replacements.
