Team News
There have been some very good news for Wales coach Chris Coleman as the likes of Gareth Bale, Joe Ledley, Joe Allen, Jonathan Williams and Emyr Huws all made the squad after recovering from injury.
Even though he was initially expected to miss the final two qualifiers, David Edwards is included as well, and there is a chance he could even find himself in the starting line-up.
Birmingham City forward David Cotterill (22/2) is the only unavailable player at the moment, with uncapped Wes Burns drafted into the squad after Cotterill had withdrawn.
Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Hennessey – Gunter, A. Williams, Davies – Richards, Ramsey, Ledley, Edwards, Taylor – Bale, Robson-Kanu.
