John Toshack is planning a visit to West Ham to find out how long Craig Bellamy, Danny Gabbidon and James Collins will be out for.
The Welsh chief is planning for the upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign and wants to know if he can rely on his Hammers stars to be part of the national team set up.
Bellamy and Gabbidon have been struggling with groin injuries all season and have no set date on when to return, while Collins is out until October with after undergoing a cruciate knee-ligament operation.
Toshack said: "We are very concerned about the Collins-Gabbidon injury situation in central defence. While our top striker Bellamy has also been out for a very long time.
"We have spent three years working on a defensive plan and it is worrying and disappointing that we are without them and they have the problems they have.
"But there are key areas of the team that concern me. Three big Premier League players at West Ham, and Bale at Spurs. They will be huge misses for us if they don't make it.
"Between now and the games in May I intend to see the people concerned. I am to go up to West Ham to see the three lads there, maybe have a talk with their manager. I need to know how long I will be without them, and the vibes from West Ham are not good."
