Collins retires from Wales duty

Collins won the last of his 50 caps in a World Cup qualifying win over Moldova in September last year.

"It's a shame because I've really enjoyed working with him," Coleman told reporters. "He's different to the modern-day professional - let's put it that way... He's been absolutely fantastic.

"He wants to spend a bit more time on himself to try and extend his domestic career and he's got young children as well."

The 34-year-old has made three Premier League appearances this season for West Ham, who host Liverpool on Saturday.
