Barry Town have confirmed that striker Kayne McLaggon has withdrawn from the Wales C squad ahead of their forthcoming clash with England C on March 20.
McLaggon would have been in line to have started the fixture at Barry Town’s Jenner Park having scored 12 goals in his debut WPL season.
The 27-year-old limped off with an ankle injury during the first-half of Barry’s recent 4-1 win over Llandudno, and his club have tweeted that an MRI scan has since revealed that the former Southampton striker faces a spell on the sidelines.
