Davies and Collins miss out

Defenders Ben Davies and James Collins will miss Wales' crunch Euro 2016 qualifier against Belgium next month.

Tottenham full-back Davies dislocated a shoulder at Southampton last month while West Ham centre-back Collins picked up a calf strain 10 days ago.

Both Davies and Collins featured in Wales' last qualifier - a 3-0 victory in Israel at the end of March - but have failed to recover in time for the Group B top-of-the-table clash with leaders Belgium at the Cardiff City Stadium on June 12.

Jonathan Williams (groin), Emyr Huws (knee) and George Williams (ankle) are also unavailable.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has named a 23-man squad in which Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale and Arsenal playmaker Aaron Ramsey both feature.

Leicester midfielder Andy King returns after serving a two-match ban for his red card in the Euro 2016 qualifier against Cyprus last October, while Newcastle defender Paul Dummett and Celtic's Adam Matthews are included after injury.

Wales squad: Goalkeepers: Hennessey (Crystal Palace), Fon Williams (Tranmere), Ward (Liverpool).

Defenders: Williams (Swansea, capt), Chester (Hull), Gunter (Reading), Taylor (Swansea), Dummett (Newcastle), Matthews (Celtic), Richards (Swansea), Henley (Blackburn),

Midfielders: Allen (Liverpool), Ledley (Crystal Palace), Ramsey (Arsenal), King (Leicester), Vaughan (Nottingham Forest), MacDonald (Bournemouth), Cotterill (Birmingham).

Strikers: Robson-Kanu (Reading), Lawrence (Leicester), Bale (Real Madrid), Church (Charlton), Vokes (Burnley).
