Nottingham Forest trio off to the World Cup as final Wales squad revealed

Nottingham Forest trio Brennan Johnson, Neco Williams and Wayne Hennessey have been included in Wales' 26-man World Cup squad.

The trio will be on the plane to Qatar for the tournament, which is set to begin on November 20. Johnson will be looking to add to his 15 caps in his first major tournament, with his last game coming in the Nations League defeat to Poland in September.

Wales coach Rob Page previously said of Johnson: "He's a wonderful talent. I'm looking forward to watching him in the Premier League next season and watching him grow with us because every time he comes on he impresses, shows his worth so he deserved his goal. He's got a lot more to come as well."

Williams, who has been in fine form for the Reds, has also been handed another call-up. He will be keen to add to his 23 caps, after previously playing in the Euros and the Nations League. Meanwhile, Hennessey, who was handed his Wales debut back in May 2007, has a whopping 106 caps to his name to date.

Page's side will feature in the World Cup for the first time since 1958. They will kick-off their tournament against the United States on Monday, November 21, before playing Iran four days later.

They complete their group fixtures against England on November 29 – a third game in nine days.
