Wayne Hennessey and Wes Burns have withdrawn from the Wales squad for Monday's European Championship qualifier against Latvia in Riga (19:45 BST).
Ipswich winger Burns, 28, will not travel because of an unspecified injury, while goalkeeper Hennessey, 36, is returning to club Nottingham Forest.
Burns came on as a second-half substitute in Wales' 0-0 friendly draw with South Korea last Thursday.
Hennessey did not feature in that game.
Leicester's Danny Ward played in goal against the South Koreans and is expected to keep his place against Latvia.
Wales are already without Daniel James and Tom Lockyer because of injury for what is a key qualifying game, while midfielder Joe Morrell and striker Kieffer Moore miss out through suspension.
