Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Dave Edwards has conceded that it will be "difficult" for him to break into the Wales squad for this summer's European Championships.
The 29-year-old is currently sidelined after breaking his fifth metatarsal and is unlikely to be back in action before mid-April, just weeks before Chris Coleman makes his final squad selection for the tournament.
"It's definitely going to be difficult [to make the squad]," Edwards told the Express & Star. "I just hope, when there were a couple of injuries a few months ago and I stepped in, there was enough in my performances to show the manager that I'm worthy of getting picked.
"It's obviously a big blow that I'm not going to be involved in the upcoming friendlies because these sort of games are quite big for selection.
"As long as I am fit and in contention that is the most I can do at the moment."
Wales open up their Euros campaign against Slovakia in Bordeaux on June 11, ahead of a trip to Lens to face England in a crunch clash five days later.
