Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out of Wales' crucial European Qualifier against Croatia on Sunday evening after failing to recover from a thigh injury.
The midfielder sustained the problem playing for Juventus in their 2-1 win against Inter Milan last weekend.
Ramsey was forced to stay at home while his Wales team-mates earned a 1-1 draw in Slovakia on Thursday, and they will again be without him in Cardiff against Croatia, live on Sky Sports Football from 7.15pm.
The 28-year-old has not played for his country for nearly a year due to injury, with his last appearance coming in the 1-0 defeat to Albania in November 2018.
Wales are currently fourth in Group E as they bid to qualify for Euro 2020, although a win over Croatia could see them rise to second.
However, if Croatia win, they will open up a nine-point lead over Ryan Giggs' side.
