Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham has withdrawn from the Wales squad for the European Qualifiers against Slovakia and Croatia due to injury.

Mepham has been replaced in the squad by uncapped MK Dons defender Regan Poole, with the 21-year-old now unavailable for his club's Sky Bet League One clash with Bristol Rovers as a result.

Mepham has played in three matches for Wales in their Euro 2020 qualification campaign and started in their win over Azerbaijan in September.

Captain Ashley Williams could replace Mepham after his recall to the squad after being left out for last month's qualifiers.

Williams was without a club at the time after being released by Everton but has since joined Championship side Bristol City.
