Jack Collison continued his excellent season with his fourth cap for Wales on Wednesday night as they went down 1-0 to Poland in a friendly played in Portugal.
The West Ham United midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular for the club under Gianfranco Zola and looks to have done the same for John Toshack's Welsh side. Collison played 45 minutes in Vila Real before making way for Arsenal starlet Aaron Ramsey in a match that saw Roger Guerreiro hit a late winner for the Poles.
The 20-year-old Collison was the only Hammer on view with James Collins remaining at Chadwell Heath for treatment - although he should be OK for the weekend - while Danny Gabbidon is still working his way back to fitness after a long-term abdominal injury.
