WALES have been hit by the news West Ham midfielder Jack Collison will miss their World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan on Saturday.
The Hammers star aggravated a knee injury during the friendly victory over Estonia, and while it was originally hoped that he would make the trip to Baku, he has been re-assessed and it has been decided that he will stay behind for treatment.
Irons defender James Collins will also miss the trip through injury.
