"Bellamy, Bale, Gabbidon, Collins - that's four names which, no disrespect to other players, would be among the first names you'd pencil in," said John Toshack ahead of tonight's game against Norway.
"I'll be honest, the situation at centre-back does concern me.
"That's two centre-backs, a most promising youngster and the captain, so obviously it's disappointing to be without them.
"But maybe with our youngsters coming through we're in a better position to overcome missing those players than we were a couple of years ago. "We've just got to hope that our injured players get back playing on a regular basis."
Wales entertain the Norwegians at the Racecorse in a match that kicks off at 7:45pm.
