Delaney set to miss England clash
Wales full-back Mark Delaney is almost certain to miss the 3 September World Cup qualifier with England in Cardiff.
Aston Villa are resigned to losing the 33-cap man for another three weeks after he injured his knee pre-season.
Wales, who have also lost Craig Bellamy to a thigh injury, are awaiting official confirmation on Delaney but expect him to miss out.
Danny Collins is back in training after injury, and Simon Davies and Ryan Giggs should play in Europe this week.
Veteran keeper Paul Jones is also expected to play his first game of the season this week following his fractured cheekbone.
He has joined Millwall on a month's loan from Wolves, and is expected to feature in Tuesday's Carling Cup tie with Bristol Rovers.
Wales and West Ham centre-back James Collins faces a race against time to recover from his calf injury ahead of the Wales tie, though.
