Cardiff, United Kingdom: West Ham United centre-back James Collins has withdrawn from the Wales squad ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier at home to Serbia, the Football Association of Wales announced on Tuesday.
Collins, 33, has been replaced by uncapped Milton Keynes Dons defender Joe Walsh, 24. The reason for his withdrawal was not disclosed, but he is thought to be injured.
Collins follows Ben Davies in pulling out of manager Chris Coleman's squad, the Tottenham Hotspur left-back having succumbed to an ankle problem.
Surprise semi-finalists at Euro 2016, Wales lie third in their World Cup qualifying group, two points behind leaders Serbia, with only the top team guaranteed to qualify.
