Harry Wilson is back in Wales' squad for their Nations League matches against Norway and Portugal, while there is a first call-up for young goalkeeper Joe Duncan.

Wilson has been one of Wales' most influential players in recent years, but injuries mean the Leeds United attacking midfielder has not featured for his country since March.

His Leeds team-mate, centre-back Joe Rodon, also returns despite not playing since injuring his hamstring in August.

Cardiff City playmaker Rubin Colwill is recalled, but fellow midfielder Jordan James is out after sustaining an injury while playing for Wolves against the Bluebirds last Saturday.

The only new call-up is 20-year-old keeper Duncan, who is on loan at National League side Southend United from Championship outfit Bristol City.

Born in Bristol but qualifying for Wales through his maternal grandfather from Cardiff, Duncan has represented Wales Under-21s and replaces Everton back-up Tom King in the senior set-up.

Wales, who are looking to preserve their place in the Nations League's top tier, face Norway in Oslo on Saturday 14 November before finishing their campaign at home against Portugal the following Tuesday.

Wales are third in Group A4, with their only win from four matches so far coming against World Cup quarter-finalists Norway in Cardiff last month.

Craig Bellamy's side could still finish in second, third or fourth place.

A top-two spot would take Wales to the Nations League quarter-finals in March 2027.

Finishing third would mean a relegation play-off against a League B team in March, while finishing bottom of the group would result in either a relegation play-off or direct relegation, depending on ranking with other League A groups.
