Simon Davies has quit international football so he can concentrate on Fulham.
The 30-year-old has been troubled by a foot injury over the last 18 months and feared he would suffer more problems if he continued playing for club and country.
The news has come as a shock to Wales manager John Toshack, who had called up the midfielder for Wednesday's match against Luxembourg in Llanelli.
Wales begin their Euro 2012 qualifiers in Montenegro next month and Toshack spoke only on Friday of the importance of senior players such as Davies, Craig Bellamy and James Collins to him.
Meanwhile, Fulham defender Aaron Hughes is out of Northern Ireland's friendly in Montenegro on Wednesday with an inflamed Achilles.
