Wigan midfielder Emyr Huws has been ruled out of Wales’ European Qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Cardiff on Friday night.

The 21-year-old, who has made three appearances for Wales, picked up an ankle injury in training on Wednesday and becomes the 10th Welsh player sidelined for the game.

"We lost him to an innocuous challenge in a small-sided game," said Wales manager Chris Coleman.

"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 naming his squad for the Group B games against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus at the Cardiff City Stadium.

He has also suffered a number of further withdrawals since the squad met up on Monday.
