Warren Gatland has revealed that Welsh qualified players playing in England are unlikely to be included in Wales Rugby world cup squad for the 2011 tournament.
This means that Sale Sharks' Dwayne Peel, Wasps number eight Andy Powell and Gloucester's Nicky Robinson are all unlikely to be going to New Zealand.
The trio were all left out of Gatland's 33-man autumn squad due to the English body Premier Rugby only releasing players at the latest possible date next year and Gatland has started building his world cup squad.
"A major concern going forward is that we have had a letter from the premier rugby saying that players in England wont be released until the 4th August (2011)." said Gatland.
