Danny Gabbidon, Darcy Blake, Andrew Crofts and Brian Stock will all miss Wales' clash with Montenegro.

Four players out of Euro 2012 qualifier

Wales have been dealt a major injury blow ahead of their clash with Montenegro, with the news that Danny Gabbidon, Darcy Blake, Andrew Crofts and Brian Stock will miss the trip through injury. West Ham defender Gabbidon has not played for Wales since last November because of groin problems, and now a calf injury will keep him out of Friday's Euro 2012 qualifier. Fellow defender Blake is sidelined with a foot injury and has been withdrawn from the squad by club Cardiff. Midfielders Crofts and Stock are absent with groin and back problems respectively, and also miss the trip to Podgorica. The injuries are a setback for Wales manager John Toshack, who is preparing his side for another long qualifying campaign, but he has no immediate plans to call up replacements.
