The round-the-clock graft Joe Allen is doing to be fit for World Cup as Russell Martin gives his opinion

Russell Martin believes Joe Allen will be able to feature for Wales at the World Cup.

The midfielder has been unavailable since sustaining a hamstring injury during the Swans' 3-0 triumph over Hull City in mid-September. Allen had been expected to return to action in October, however, he suffered a setback and has remained on the sidelines.

Despite his struggles, Rob Page is expected to include the 32-year-old in his 26-man squad for the Qatar tournament. And Swans boss Martin has opened up on the significant graft Allen has undertaken to be in a position to potentially play for his country at the global showpiece later this month.
