Wales: Uncapped Nathan Broadhead included in 27-man squad for World Cup play-off final and Nations League | Football News

Wales boss Rob Page has named a 27-man squad for next month’s World Cup play-off final and Nations League fixtures, including uncapped Sunderland striker Nathan Broadhead.

Wales will face either Scotland or Ukraine in the World Cup play-off final at the Cardiff City Stadium on June 5, live on Sky Sports.

The decider for a spot in Qatar is scheduled among Nations League matches, with Wales kicking off their campaign in Poland on June 1, before home games against Netherlands and Belgium in Cardiff on June 8 and 11, before a return trip to Holland on June 14.

Page has named an experienced squad, with Sunderland forward Broadhead – on loan from Everton – the only uncapped player included after scoring 13 goals in all competitions this season.

Wales have three players with a century of caps in Wayne Hennessey, Chris Gunter and captain Gareth Bale, while Ben Davies, Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey – fresh from his penalty miss for Rangers in Wednesday’s Europa League final – have more than 200 appearances between them.

Wales moved one step closer to their first World Cup since 1958 as Bale stole the show in a 2-1 win over Austria in the play-off semi-final in March.
