Neil Taylor won't travel with Swansea to face Leicester City on Saturday

Swansea defender Neil Taylor will go into Wales' World Cup qualification opener without a single minute of Premier League football under his belt.

Taylor was a Euro 2016 hero this summer -- playing every game in Wales' march to the semifinal and scoring in the 3-0 victory over Russia -- but his extended post-tournament break has handed Chris Coleman a problem ahead of the Moldova game on Sept. 5.

On Wednesday, Wales boss Coleman said at his squad announcement for the Moldova clash it was a concern that some of his players were not playing first-team football.
