Tottenham defender Ben Davies has undergone a second operation on a broken ankle and is a doubt for the World Cup should Wales qualify.
The 32-year-old was given oxygen before being carried off on a stretcher after 19 minutes of last weekend’s 2-1 Premier League defeat by West Ham United.
Davies has undergone further surgery that is liable to rule him out of Wales’ March World Cup play-off games and casts doubt on his Tottenham future.
The former Swansea defender has been at Spurs for 12 years, playing 448 games, but is out of contract at the end of the season, with the North London club in talks to sign Liverpool left back Andy Robertson.
Wales face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the World Cup play-off semi-final at Cardiff City Stadium on 26 March, with the winners at home to Northern Ireland or Italy in the final on 31 March.
Wales manager Craig Bellamy recently described Davies as his “best player,” with Davies the only member of the current Wales squad to reach 100 caps.
