Coyne has missed a year with a knee ligament injury
|
Burnley manager Steve Cotterill says keeper Danny Coyne should not have been selected by Wales so soon after injury.
The 32-year-old, Wales' first choice, has been out since last September with a cruciate knee ligament injury.
Wales manager John Toshack recalled him this week for the 15 August friendly with Bulgaria in Swansea.
"He's nowhere near ready to play yet, the call-up was a surprise considering we were not notified or asked about his fitness," Cotterill told the club site.
"Danny's eight months down the line from a cruciate knee ligament operation and those injuries are not solid for 12 months.
"He's played about 35 minutes on our pre-season tour of Italy. In that time he had one pass back, one catch and one throw upfield.
"That was just a little confidence boost for him. He might be in my squad for the game with QPR on Saturday, but he won't be playing."
