Chris Coleman: 'James Collins refused to join Wales squad'

Coleman reveals Collins snub

Wales manager Chris Coleman has revealed that West Ham United defender James Collins refused to join up with the squad ahead of his nation's World Cup qualifier against Serbia.

Coleman has questioned the 30-year-old's attitude after he was asked to provide cover following Ashley Williams's suspension and injury to Sam Ricketts.

"James explained to me that he didn't want to come into the squad after being on stand-by because psychologically he was disappointed, but that's not the attitude I'm looking for," BBC Sport quotes Coleman as saying.

Wales lost to Serbia 3-0 in Cardiff last night.
