James Collins has been named in Wales’s 24-man squad for the European Championship qualifiers against Montenegro and England by manager Gary Speed.

The Aston Villa defender has been ruled out of the Montenegro clash because of suspension but will be available for the derby match with Fabio Capello’s England.

Craig Bellamy has also been included in the squad, along with Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey.

Wales host Montenegro on Friday, September 2 before travelling to Wembley to take on England four days later.
