Huws latest injury blow for Wales

Wigan midfielder Emyr Huws is the latest withdrawal from the Wales squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Friday night.

The 21-year-old picked up an ankle injury in training on Wednesday and becomes the 10th player that manager Chris Coleman has to do without.

"We lost him to an innocuous challenge in a small-sided game," Coleman said at his pre-match press conference in Cardiff.

"We're going to have to send him back to Wigan. He's gone off for a scan as he's got a bad swelling around his ankle.

"It's disappointing but we'll have to get on with it."

Coleman lost key midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen before even naming the squad for this week's Cardiff City Stadium qualifiers against Bosnia and Cyprus, and has suffered a raft of further withdrawals since the players met up on Monday.
