Ipswich Town duo Nathan Broadhead and Wes Burns have been called up to the Welsh squad for Euro 2024 qualifiers next month - but injury means Burns won't be involved.
The flying Blues twosome were due to meet up with their international team-mates on June 8 for a training camp in the Algarve, Portugal, ahead of the games.
However, Town revealed earlier that an 'ongoing groin injury' means Burns won't be able to join the squad.

Rob Page's men take on Armenia in Group D of qualifying on Friday, June 16 at Cardiff City Stadium.
They then face Turkey away, at the Samsun Stadium in Tekkeköy, on Monday, June 19.
Broadhead, 25, has two caps to his name and scored on his debut for his country back in March, bagging a 93rd-minute equaliser against Croatia.
He then came off the bench as Wales beat Latvia 1-0 at home four days later.
Burns, 28, has four senior caps to his name. His most recent appearance came alongside Broadhead in that March draw in Croatia.

After that debut goal, Page revealed of Broadhead: "I’m really pleased for him. He’s not going to like me saying this, but it’s an emotional game and he was in tears at the end with the supporters.
"It means the world to him. I’ve worked with Nathan in the Under-21s in Toulon six or seven years ago.
"I’ve watched his development and he’s earned the right to be part of the squad now.
"I’ve known all about him before this camp and we’ve been itching to get him involved.”
Broadhead added: "It was amazing and a great experience, so to score was also a bonus. I was buzzing."
He continued: "I think Wes (Burns) and I changed the game when we came on, adding counter-attacking threat, and that’s what we’re all about for Ipswich and for Wales.”
