Harry Wilson is back in the Wales squad, and goalkeeper Joe Duncan gets his first senior call-up for the Norway and Portugal tests.
Harry Wilson is back in the fold. The creative forward returns to the Wales squad for their upcoming Nations League clashes with Norway and Portugal, a timely boost for a side facing two heavyweight opponents.
There is also a fresh face in the group. Goalkeeper Joe Duncan has been called up for the first time, and he joins the camp as an uncapped option between the sticks. It is a big moment for the shot-stopper, who now gets to train alongside the senior setup and see how international football works at close range.
Wilson's return matters because of what he brings going forward. His set-piece delivery, his ability to carry the ball and his eye for a pass give Wales another way to unlock stubborn defences. Against opponents with the quality of Norway and Portugal, that kind of creativity can decide a match.
The two fixtures will test Wales' depth and nerve. Duncan may not be thrown straight into the action, but his inclusion shows the coaching staff are looking at the goalkeeping pool with an eye to the future. All eyes will be on how the squad comes together when camp opens.
