Wales has included Joe Rodon in their squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures, despite the defender being sidelined for over two months due to a hamstring injury sustained against Brentford on August 30. His absence coincided with Wales’ challenging start to their League A campaign, where they suffered three losses and achieved a surprising victory against Norway, quarter-finalists in the World Cup.

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke mentioned that the 29-year-old has made a controlled return to training, though his participation in Saturday’s match against Tottenham remains uncertain.

The inclusion of Rodon is a significant boost for Wales' head coach Craig Bellamy, who has announced a 26-man squad for their trip to Norway on November 14, followed by a home match against Portugal three days later.

In addition to Rodon, Harry Wilson from Leeds and Karl Darlow, the goalkeeper from Manchester United, return to the squad after injury-enforced absences. However, Dylan Lawlor from Cardiff and Nathan Broadhead from Wrexham remain unavailable.

Jordan James from Wolves has dropped out due to a recent injury, paving the way for Kai Andrews, an on-loan midfielder from Oxford United, to step up from the Under-21 squad. Joe Duncan, currently on a season-long loan with Southend United, takes the place of Tom King in the squad.

Rubin Colwill returns to the fold after recovering from injury, replacing Wes Burns.

Wales Squad:

• Goalkeepers: Karl Darlow (Manchester United), Danny Ward (Wrexham), Joe Duncan (Southend United - on loan from Bristol City)
