Cardiff City youngster receives first Wales U21 call-up after breakthrough campaign but there is one shock omission

Cardiff City defender James Connolly has earned his first call-up to Wales' under-21s squad but there is no room for promising Bluebirds forward Isaak Davies in the 21-man squad.

Wales will face Netherlands on June 11 and Gibraltar on June 14, with both matches taking place at Parc y Scarlets, in their final Euro 2023 qualifier matches and the Bluebirds will have two representatives in the squad in Connolly and midfielder Eli King.

Connolly's citizenship is stated as English, however he has long been on Wales' radar owing to his Welsh parentage. Receiving his first call-up to Paul Bodin's Wales Under-21s side is no doubt the icing on the cake after what has been a stellar breakthrough season for the 20-year-old centre-back.
