Wales name a squad for friendlies against Ghana and Romania after key injuries heal. Captain Ben Davies returns from an ankle operation that kept him out since January. Burnley right‑back Connor Roberts, sidelined by a groin and Achilles collapse, may make his first competitive appearance in a year.

Both men earned their places after long absences; Davies had not played for Tottenham since surgery, while Roberts left Burnley’s side after a June 2025 World Cup qualifier injury. The squad also includes centre‑back Chris Mepham, who recovered from a hamstring strain, and a midfield trio hampered by minor knocks.

Wales will host Ghana at Cardiff City Stadium on 2 June, then travel to Bucharest for Romania on 6 June. The fixtures serve as a test before the Nations League return, where Wales face Portugal, Norway and Denmark. A strong showing could set the tone for the group campaign in the season ahead of the World Cup.

Davies’ return after a surgery‑ridden season and Roberts’ comeback after a year‑long layoff underline the squad’s resilience. With key defenders back, Wales can press for a positive start to the Nations League and reassure fans that the team is ready to compete at a high level in the coming season of the World Cup.
