Wales have called up uncapped MK Dons striker Aaron Collins to replace Kieffer Moore, who withdrew injured, for the Nations League Group A4 fixtures against Norway and Portugal. Wales are third in Group A4 and could still finish second, third or fourth.
Moore withdraws injured
Kieffer Moore left the field during Wrexham's 1-1 Championship draw with Wolves on Saturday. Wales have not specified what kind of injury he sustained.
Collins' background and scoring form
The 29-year-old Collins has scored 17 goals in 16 games across all competitions for League One side MK Dons this season. Those goals included four in a game against Doncaster.
Newport-born Collins is a former Newport County player. He has played for 10 different clubs, mainly in the lower leagues, since leaving Rodney Parade for Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2016.
Wales' concluding fixtures
Collins joins Craig Bellamy's squad for the concluding Group A4 games in Norway and at home to Portugal. Wales face Norway in Oslo on Saturday before finishing their campaign at home against Portugal next Tuesday.
Bellamy is without midfielder Jordan James for the matches. Leeds pair Harry Wilson and Joe Rodon are back in the Wales squad, while Cardiff playmaker Rubin Colwill has also returned.
Wales' matches against Norway and Portugal will be available live on BBC iPlayer, BBC Two Wales, BBC Sounds, BBC Radio Wales, Radio Cymru, 5 Live Sports Extra, the BBC Sport website and app, plus live text commentary.
Possible Group A4 finishes
Wales' only win from four Group A4 matches so far came against Norway in Cardiff. Norway are described as World Cup quarter-finalists.
A top-two finish would take Wales to the Nations League quarter-finals in March 2027. Finishing third would mean a relegation play-off against a League B team in March, while finishing bottom would result in either a relegation play-off or direct relegation, depending on the ranking with other League A groups.
