Peter Taylor is insisting that all of his players refuse any kind of pain killing injections while on international duty reports the Sun.

Taylor decided upon the drastic cause of action after Matt Jones went away with the Welsh squad with a slight ankle injury that was made worse by him playing under the influence of pain numbing jabs.

Taylor told the Sun "I wasn't over the moon about the incident but I won't be lodging a formal complaint to the Welsh FA.

"Matt virtually asked for the injection because he was so desperate to play.

"The trouble is that he has sustained more damage to his ankle because of it and I have told all the players that I don't want a repeat.

"When I was looking after the England under 21 squad I would never have contemplated anyone being injected without his clubs knowledge."

Taylor has been forced to count the cost of injuries over the last few weeks with Izzet, Savage, Jones and now Dean Sturridge all out due to injuries.
