Former Bristol Rovers defender Tom Lockyer has been named in Rob Page’s 26-man Wales squad for the World Cup but Gas striker Aaron Collins will unfortunately not be on the plane to Qatar.
Lockyer has been called up to the national team for the first time since last year as Page admits the Dragons need more cover at centre-back, and the 27-year-old has been excelling for Luton Town in the Championship.
There had been some consideration that Collins’ form for the Gas, having scored nine goals and added six assists in 17 League One appearances this season, could make him a late entrant into the squad and Bristol Live understands that national scouts have attended the Mem to watch him in action.
