NEWPORT defender James Collins will miss Wales' Euro 2016 qualifier against Belgium in June because of a calf injury.

Collins, 31, has been ruled out of club side West Ham United’s final Premier League game of the season away at Newcastle.

The former Cardiff City and Aston Villa player suffered the injury during his side's 2-1 defeat by Everton last Saturday.

Chris Coleman will name his squad for the June 12 showdown next Tuesday.

Collins made his first appearance in Wales' Euro 2016 qualifying campaign in the 3-0 win over Israel in March and even came close to scoring as Coleman’s side produced a superb display.

The centre-half started in place of Hull City's James Chester, who missed the game after suffering a shoulder injury but should be back to face Belgium.

Chester, 26, returned to action for Hull in April but Wales will be without Tottenham left-back Ben Davies for the Belgium game.

Former Swansea City defender Davies has been ruled out after having surgery on a dislocated shoulder.

The 22-year-old defender slipped and fell awkwardly during the Premier League match away to Southampton and has been ruled out for months, having also lost his club place in recent months to in-form England defender Danny Rose.
