    Wales boss Gary Speed: "I spoke to James (Collins), he had an injection in his foot before the game on Saturday and maybe he should not have played but James being James he did. He is struggling and has to let that settle down."
    19.25
    Wales have lost James Collins (knee), Joe Ledley and Danny Collins (both groin) due to injury, so Gary Speed has called up Jonathan Williams of Crystal Palace and Bristol City's Lewin Nyatanga to bolster his squad. James Collins was dropped against England in September in any case and Speed is likely to stick with Darcy Blake and Ashley Williams in the centre of defence.

    Curiously, Wales have now gone 33 games without a draw in all competitions.

    Switzerland boss Ottmar Hitzfeld: “We had a difficult start but I have always believed in my team. We have the chance to qualify for the play-offs. We want to win against Wales. We do not want to rely on England beating Montenegro."

    The Swiss have won all three previous European qualifiers against Wales, netting eight goals and conceding just one.
    19.05
    Wales are hoping they can move off the foot of Group G with a win but it won't be easy - Ottmar Hitzfeld’s side are unbeaten in seven internationals, winning three and drawing four.
