Nottingham Forest’s Wayne Hennessey could lose the battle for a place in the Wales starting XI in the World Cup.
The goalkeeper was named in Wales’ 26-man squad for the tournament in Qatar. But he faces a battle to be included in Rob Page’s starting line up for the nation’s Group B opener against USA on Monday.
Hennessey has been preferred to Leicester City’s Danny Ward in the last two international games against Poland and Belgium following his performance in the World Cup play-offs against Ukraine. The 35-year-old completed a move to Forest in the summer, where he has been behind Dean Henderson in the pecking order.
