Centre-back Collins played the full 90 minutes for West Ham, making him a certain starter in Saturday's Euro 2008 qualifier with the Republic of Ireland. But the game will probably come too early for defender Danny Gabbidon, who is also recovering from a groin injury. Wales have no fresh injury concerns after the weekend's club action. And their cause could be helped on Monday night as Manchester United look set to rest Ryan Giggs in the FA Cup quarter-final replay with Middlesbrough. West Brom play-maker Jason Koumas will be suspended for the Ireland game, but he should go straight back into the side to face San Marino in Cardiff four days later. Carl Robinson looks set to retain his place in the Wales midfield despite not currently playing competitive games. The midfielder was released by Norwich in January to allow him to join Major League Soccer side Toronto, whose season does not start until next month. His fitness will be assessed in training this week, but the 30-year-old is likely to continue his central partnership with Crystal Palace captain Carl Fletcher. Striker Robert Earnshaw (groin) and defender Mark Delaney (knee) are the only definite absentees through injury, although Gabbidon could be ruled out because of a lack of fitness later in the week. Shrewsbury's David Edwards is the only uncapped player in the 26-man squad. Germany and the Czech Republic lead the way on 10 points in Group D, with Wales one from bottom with three points but with a game in hand.
