Joe Allen won't play in the World Cup opener against the United States due to a injury.
Since September, Allen has not played.
Robert Page said from the beginning that they were going to give him every chance but he wouldn't make it.
He is out for the tournament if he breaks down. We won't push him.
Wales will face Iran four days after taking on the United States and then England on November 29th.
After Russell Martin expressed anger at the medical treatment at the Championship club, Allen had hoped to be fit for their group opener.
Martin had said Allen's treatment wasn't good enough, but he was still included in the Wales squad for the upcoming tournament.
